<p>I have seen more and more posts lately where people use acronyms or abbreviations that make sense to them but probably don't make sense to the general posting public on CC. Also, when referring to a school like UW, remember that it can mean University of Washington or University of Wisconsin. Obviosuly you know where you're talking about, but we don't. Same goes with USC to a lesser extent. Do you mean Southern California or South Carolina. Just spell it out folks!</p>
<p>U. of Southern California is THE USC ;)</p>

<p>Say wha?</p>
<p>just kidding.. I know it means college confidential.</p>
<p>M&M- chocolate</p>
<p>but I agree, sometimes, I just roam around the Urban Dictionary, and I learned the DP can mean danceparty, or something not quite so acceptable, except in some circles</p>
<p>How many times can I type University of Illiois - Urbana-Champlain? UIUC</p>
<p>I agree that it can get bad. UW is useless, but USC is definitely USC.</p>
<p>CC should have a glossary of acronyms.</p>
<p>WOEAYTAUAATJCYSOP.</p>
<p>oh, i forgot... you dont understand the way we speak. ill help you out.</p>
<p>translation: What on Earth are you talking about? Using ambiguous acronyms? That's just crazy. You silly original poster.</p>
<p>NYC = New York City</p>
<p>what is up with everyone disrespecting U of Wyoming</p>
<p>Wow, these acronyms really are confusing. When I first saw "WOEAYTAUAATJCYSOP", I thought it meant something entirely different.</p>

Shame on you dufus. You don't deserve the title of senior member! :p</p>
<p>I suppose most people either use the context it's written in or repliers could just ask.</p>
<p>There's a thread of acronyms and stuff somewhere on the Parent board...</p>
