[The_Q]

Again, I'll point out that all acronyms make language more efficient just so long as the person at the receiving end understands them. We all know what "lol" means, for the most part. If I said "mtfbwy,a" I'd have to explain it, thus making it less efficient. If you already knew it meant "May the force be with you, always" we'd have a much more efficient ending to a conversation.

In conclusion, acronyms are good, but only to the extent that many people know what the acronym means. If they don't, don't bother to use it.
