muddiest point week 6

Why does everything have to be abbreviated? Perhaps it’s easier for people writing the articles, but for lowly people like myself, not knowing what the letters stand for drives me crazy. Even when I figure out what they mean, I still have to look back while reading to remember what they stood for. It would just be easier if they were spelled out for awhile until I was able to remember them all. I guess it is similar to text messaging language. Although most of them are easy enough to figure out with a little common sense.
