here in the NW (northwest), we use abbreviations. it's super cool. not ridiculous. what's also decent is to shorten the long words you don't want to articulate.


so up until this year, i never shortened my words (except for the occasional 'ridic', which my brother says). i don't know if it's a college thing, perhaps plain laziness, or both, since they seem to go hand-in-hand quite often. or maybe it's just the people i hang out with. the funny thing is, i'm never really serious when i say it. i'm sure some people find it super annoying. but oh well. i think it's entertaining to see how many words you can only say the first syllable of before it becomes unrecognizable. 
we'll see how long this lasts.....before i lose friends/become shunned by my family....
