OFW = Our Fading Words. Was it Overseas Filipino Worker.?
OFW = Our Fading Words. Did it mean Overseas Filipino Worker.?

With technologies soaring, economies dwindling, emo's spreading and all that, I have noticed that the LOL acronym has started to move into actual speech. This elicits deductions from me. First, I flashback to 4th & 6th grade English teacher, and then I begin to wonder what happened to vocabulary. And, what's next? Sometimes I want to look at people and say "You make me dot, comma, asterisk." It sounds offbeat, but there is no much difference, then.

Chats with Americans, being Pinoy, is a common-but-not-so-common activity. When the opportunity comes up, I always -- always notice the use of LMAO, ROFL, and of course, LOL. It would be very weird to think that every time they typed the words they were actually doing what the acronyms meant.

LMAO = laughing my a** off. I don't know anyone who actually laughed their butts off, and I'm no whiz at this. If you typed this all the time.. what can I say? Poor butt.

ROFL = I have laughed myself to tears and actually sat on the floor but I still haven't done the action of "stop, drop and roll". I leave that action when I am literally on fire.

Entirely different acronyms pop up when you have a conversation with strangers online. There is ASL , a- age, s - sex, l - location.

OMG. Its a relief I keep up.

We can accept all the acronyms, can't we? But English grammar, carefully built up by great persons in the past (i'm not sure :P), is put to waste by replacing actual words by this acronyms. If you want a relationship, I'm sure it won't be pretty much serious if you ask when you are "going 2 get 2gether" and saying "2day is the day i answer yes to your 2 many questions about me". He may be the 1; but put more thinks in2 this. The love of your life over 3 words and atrocious shortcuts of words called acronyms? Puh-lease.
