I generally try not to use acronyms or slang. I think it’s an exclusionary practice of “communication”.

I understand..there are a few people on FR who prefer to not use slang etc.. I figure as long as message gets across it doesn’t matter. In this case, it would have been helpful to know in advance...because it did briefly interrupt communication. Which I wouldn’t have analyzed had you not mentioned it. Good points made!

you must have really been frustrated with every news article and every thread posted here about the war against terrorism.

I don’t know all the acronyms but ROP IS on FR quite regularly, and almost as common as LOL. Also, IED is everywhere; even the newspapers regularly use that acronym. Nobody should criticize someone if they don’t know though. Just my 2 cents.

I feel the same way.
