Bitch about something here.

 

At work this week I've been absolutely _plagued_ by presentations and emails with acronyms made plural by adding " 's ".    Argh!!!!

The GBU's will need to...

CFB's are handled by....

It makes me want to yell "The GBU's what?!?"   The CFB's what?!?!?"

    Hah.  Both those are standard here as well.

    The one that's unique here (as far as I know) and is like nails on a chalkboard to me is the use of "corky dots" instead of bullets.

    As an example -   "Can we make a one-pager on that?  Just a few corky dots is all we need."

    Haha, I see a lot of that on restaurant signs around here. Chili cheese footlong's $2. Hamburger's $3. Maybe they are giving the price for the condiments?


    Maybe they're intending as a contraction?

    "A Chili Cheese footlong is $2. A Hamburger is $3."

     

    I work in compliance.  My entire job is acronyms.  I call it the alphabet soup job.    And sometimes I attempt to build long sentences of 100% corporate-ease for my own amusement.
