I'm sorry but people calling my truck that drives me bonkers. It's an Extended Cab; not some disgusting covering on a wound that people pick at.

Stop trying to shorten everything to the least amount of syllables or make acronyms out of it! Sheesh.

Port, you know the Military lives and breathes off of acronyms.

I drove to the American Lesion to show off my grey scab.

you'd rather your truck be called a "SCREW" then?
Nope. Having worked in IT and being ITIL certified, having to deal with ACL's, CPU's, SQL and its DML and DDM, not to mention DDL's, Mbps and HTTP and SAN can drive me insane. I hate acronyms.

Every manufacturer has their own proprietary name for the different cab configurations. I ignore all of them and just go with regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab. Seems simple and universal enough and gets the point across.

That said, I'll also throw my hat in the ring for using less acronyms in real life. I get enough of that at work, a lot of which I still don't know what they stand for even after 9 years here. I don't need to also have my personal life filled with them. Plus more than half of them I have to look up just to understand the post. But most of the time I just skip it. Is it really that hard to just write in complete grammatically correct sentences (as best we can).
HI Matt,

Sometimes you just have to SWAG it, eh? :crazy:

"Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? 'Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP"
