182 views

I am not a native english speaker and whenever i see an abbreviation i go “ah shit here we go again” like wtf is RSI? It could mean 5 billion things if not trillion, i know its contextual but like its close to impossible for me at least to understand what is meant when someone uses it sarcastically

TBH (to be honest), Native speakers have to google acronyms as well. Acronyms are not new for scientific processes or businesses with long names, but texting made them popular fro normal speech as well. Because its faster to next, especially when we had to text on a numerical keyboard on a flip phone.
