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... |

Absolutely NOT! Regardless of what story Ma tries to tell you. Mojo and I did some research this weekend (right after a massive ice cream binge) and we found that you and she do not have the same father. It was determined that apparently Ma mated with someone from a mental institution 9 months before you were conceived! Ma was working there some years ago to try to support her many, many kids. Ma has managed to keep this a well-kept-secret!
