Acronyms and initialisms are abbreviations that are formed using the initial components in a phrase or name. These components may be individual letters (as in CEO) or parts of words (as in Benelux). There is no universal agreement on the precise definition of the various terms (see nomenclature), nor on written usage (see orthographic styling). While popular in recent English, such abbreviations have historical use in English as well as other languages. As a type of word formation process, acronyms and initialisms are viewed as a subtype of blending.

What's up with the popular fad of using acronyms and abbreviations as substitutes for phrases and words?
Q. I've noticed a disturbing increase in the substituting of acronyms for phrases (rotfl-rolling on the floor laughing, imho-in my humble opinion) abbreviations for words (ppl-people, coz-because, wut-what), letters for words (u-you, y-why, r-are) and numbers for words (2-two,too,to and 4-for,four) on the internet. What's the deal? Why would someone think it's cool to spell like a moron?

A. Today's schools really don't teach our children how to spell, or the proper use of the english language. My pet peeve is the word "Gots" "She gots it in her hand". What does that mean?
