Half serious, half tongue in cheek...
... am I the only one who gets irritated by unnecessary acronyms?
I've been on Gransnet (or GN!) for a few weeks, and can't quite get used to all the DILs. MILs, SILs, AIBUs, OPs, DGDs etc etc. Surely it's not hard to write out daughter-in-law and all the rest! In my humble opinion (IMHO), this only serves to create an insider language...
I've put the acronyms in the above so everyone can understand me!
Maybe I am just turning into a GOW (grumpy old woman)?!
