The military seems to have a language of its own, with many terms, acronyms, initialisms and abbreviations that aren't generally used in the "civilian world." What is an acronym? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words. It is spoken as one word. What is an initialism? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words, but each letter is spoken separately. What is an abbreviation? It is a shortened version of a word. What is Short Speak? It is any and all of the above. Want to know what they are talking about? Read on... ![](http://images4.fotki.com/v40/photos/1/106521/398438/StarsStripesseperator-vi.gif?1066276156) |

Good Monday to you Lauren!
Thank you for sharing the email about mixed up letters and how our brains are able to make words out of them. That was the one I was thinking of! I am such a dyslexic typist. My brain is always several words ahead of my fingers. LOL!

Hands-Free Coffee for you Thank you, that is so nice! My class sees it tomorrow night. They probably won't want to look at it, either. I bumped it too much yesterday at the art studio's open house and it feels like a train wreck today.

Good Morning Canteen, Good Morning Troops!
Good day to you Spotsy! That email about the crazy words was pretty clever; I have to re-read everything I type a couple of times just to make sure I didn't goof somewhere.
Oh, by the way, do you like MY new outfit? Our Canteen Seamstress has been doing a wonderful job!
To: beachn4fun
Good (late) Morning to you Beachy! I hope you have a great day too!
