Acronyms, by Amy Friedman

“Ever hear of Speedtalk?” 
“No, why?” 
“I’m reading about it right now - it’s a language that posits one sound equaling a word or concept.”
“That’s wack.” 
“Not it’s not – this story says it makes communication really efficient.” 
“Like speaking in acronyms?” 
“Kinda. Think flexible acronyms.” 
“Ugh. I hate when acronyms mean different things depending on what’s being talked about.” 
“Yeah. Even worse when you get looked at like you’re an eejit for not know what the acronym means.” 
“Is Acronym an acronym?” 
“No, but maybe it should be.” 
“How about ‘All Caps Rassle Our Nasty Yucky Mumblings?” 
“Good grief.”
