Inspired by Amy Jones and her feelings on the use of Acronyms like WTF, etc on AR.

Do people take them too seriously? Professional or Unprofessional?

It's the texting and Twitter generation. Just adjust the meaning to suit yourself. Acronymns can have more than one meaning. For example, when we get older, these acronymns might apply: ATD = At The Doctors , BFF= Best Friend Fell , BTW = Bring The Wheelchair , BYOT = Bring Your Own Teeth , FWIW = Forgot Where I Was , GGPBL = Gotta Go Pacemaker Battery Low, GHA = Got Heartburn Again , IMHO = Is My Hearing-Aid On , LMDO= Laughing My Dentures Out , OMMR = On My Massage Recliner , OMSG = Oh MY! Sorry, Gas , ROFLACGU = Rolling On Floor Laughing And Can't Get Up , TTYL = Talk To You Louder, And in real estate - AII could = Agent is Idiot, or Agent is Intelligent, LMAO could = Lender Might Ax Offer , BBA = Buyer Broke Agreement , FMV = Fictional Market Value, And some agents think CMA = Contingent on My Approval, PITI = Pictures Intended To Irritate. The list goes on....!

I don't like any of them. If you want to be taken seriously I would suggest not using them as they are very childish.

#1- Hi Dale, Just something different to start the week. Thanks.

#2- Hi Randy, Thanks. Glad you liked them!

#3- Hi Bob and Team, Thanks. yeah, i doubt AR turns into fb. i'll read your blog.

#4- Hi Morris, Yeah, sometimes things are taken too seriously and aren't worth spending too much time worrying about. That's why this is posted under the " Just for fun" tab on AR. I doubt you'll see them in a contract situation.

#5 - Hi Kathy, Thanks, Glad you liked them!
