Abbreviations

[Lee]

At the moment i am writing a document for a well known oil company about a platform that is going to be built, its basically a Spec for the Vessel.

I have just come accross a line which has a few abbreviations in it, so much so its virtually unreadable.

"For *****, the ESS functions shall be provided by a combination of the FGS and the IPS, where the IPS implements process safety (PSD), ESD and EDP functions. "

Sorry you cant see the project name its top secret shizzle

[c0sie]

I think there is a valid difference between genuine abbreviations, and stupid kids of today who can only talk, write and text in their "Im the next generation of McDonalds worker!" talk...

Youths eh..

'Mouth Breather' should be classified as an official language, cos sometimes I just can't be arsed to try and work out what stuff means!

Text talk does my head in, i understand why we have them but in my industry we have so many TLA`s (Three Letter Acronyms). Its just when you get a sentence like the one above you have to think about it and it becomes difficult to read if you are not familiar with it.

Even the building i work in is abbreviated. CAI (Centre of Advanced Industry)

They can't get enough of them where I work, for example I went on an internal training course a few months ago called: PM@MP which was 'project management at mouchel parkman', no one told us what it meant until we got there, one lad thought it was to do with pension management

The other half of my day is skiving until the time comes for me to hand my notice in...mwahahaa!
