Life moves PDQ. Productivity demands, smartphones, and ever-evolving technology mean we’re all finding ways to communicate faster and more efficiently. Today, as with technology, we are seeing increased use of acronyms in our daily lives.But let’s be real, acronyms aren’t new—they go way back. The Romans loved their Latin abbreviations (think "ETC."), and for centuries, institutions like the government and military have used acronyms to streamline complex information and, at times, add a layer of secrecy. IYKYK. From government agencies like the FBI, CIA, and CDC to famous figures like MLK, JFK, and DDE, acronyms are everywhere. They even help us express emotions—OMG! LOL! —making communication faster and more efficient.
