| ~ MILITARY SHORT SPEAK ~ |
     |
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...  |

LOL on the story, Star!!!
I have a different one to relate.
I wish I had Linda's artistic talent, not that I don't appreciate the gifts God has given me. I do the best with them that I can. ... But, I still know Linda could get this message across graphically better than I. Regardless, I think some of you here will still appreciate the sentiment.
