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) |

What happened to Ma? I haven't been around much.
My thumb is sore as blazes today and if it touches anything, forget it. It's like my thumb is one big nerve ending.

M.C. Escher did that graphic. He did things with perspective that were just stunning. No one has ever done anything like it and yet he did a lot of different stuff.
I like perspective but this one gives me a brain freeze:
