Of course this does not refer to situations in which a generally uncommon acronym is well known. :P

Jiminy Crickett ez clap

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 month ago

I mean that's Assassin's Creed for pretty much everyone these days, who even remembers Asheron's Call?

...

Is there another AC now? I haven't kept up

[-] Alcyonaria@piefed.world 7 points 1 month ago

Armored core/animal crossing/ace combat

Also Assetto Corsa

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 month ago

Ah fair enough, I have actually heard of all of those, but I've never played any of them. I think Assassin's Creed is the only one you can really use without mentioning the name first, but true, even then it's too ambiguous.

[-] trevdog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Asheron's Call, that's a blast from the past.

You're welcome.

Untranslated Fucking Acronyms?

[-] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

How about the users that are starting to use the thorn character everywhere?

[-] missingno@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

I'm almost positive it's one person who keeps making new accounts.

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I think it's like one guy. I have him blocked and I haven't seen it since.

Also of all the characters to insist upon, why no interrobang‽

Also of all the characters to insist upon, why no interrobang‽

Because it insists upon itself

As long as they correctly use eth and thorn, I'm all for it

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I got the title confused with North America South American.

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Going to keep this meme in my back pocket. It’ll get a fair bit of use on Lemmy.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's a defence mechanism. I want to scare people away from trying to participate in a topic they know nothing about but feel like an expert in. Those that do know about the acronyms are worth the while.

Edit: I don't have autism.

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

IAUUAWET

As acronyms go, it sounds like a simple fella noticing his girlfriend is sexually excited.

Three Letter Acronyms and .. Flea Letter Acronyms?

nono, Fifty Letter Acronyms.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

can you make a valid sentence using the same acronym multiple times but with different meanings?

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

Acronyms are fucking bullshit.

Everyone gets "lol", but stop with the fucking bullshit. You guys have full keyboards. Not the shit we had with out 90's phones. Grow up.

[-] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

abbreviations are a normal part of human language, and have been around since long before the 90s

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago

CP has only one meaning and it's not "control point," "Cyberpunk," or "counter protestors."
