Reminds me of the time my uild was passing around our equipment wish
lists, to keep things short everyone was layering in the acrnyms like "I
would love to get a EHG, THB, TBC, BIC, and a BSM." Suffice to say we
ended wasting even more time when one of us couldn't identify one of the
acronym. Then we were caught in a constant banter of what the heck is
this. This made chatting longer and caused problems while we were all
jumped by some mobs in Runnyeye. Theres nothing more embarassing then
blurting "What is a eq1211"

Treilanin Loreweaver Bard of Kelethin

BTW: That was Elf-Hide gloves Troll Hide Belt, Thulian Bladed Claw, Black
Iron Crown and Blood Stained Mantle =). Besides is it not easier to just
do this first time you want to use an acronym like the following.

<text deleteds> Bone bladed Claymore(BBC) <text deleted>BBC

That way you get your acronyms and the person reading can learn them? Not
to much hassle if you plan to mention BBC a few times.
