I never learned shorthand because, and this is going to sound bad, I didn’t want\u00a0to be a secretary or as it’s known today an administrative assistant. I’m not bashing anyone, I’m just saying when I was in high school in the 1980’s, being a secretary was an option if you weren’t going to college. I know times have changed dramatically, but shorthand hasn’t, it’s just evolved when it comes to texting, email and social media. And, I’m out of touch. Sure I know what the texting acronyms<\/strong><\/span> LOL, OMG and WTF \u00a0mean, but that’s probably the extent of it. And, that is a dangerous thing!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you know what the texting acronyms<\/strong><\/span> NIFOC, 420 and IWSN stand for? If you have teenagers or tweens in the house you should know what those letters and numbers mean. They are declarative statements for “Nude in Front of the Camera, “Marijuana” and “I Want Sex Now!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Teenagers might as well be speaking a foreign language, but I guess that’s the idea, right?\u00a0\u00a0According to a recent CNN article<\/a><\/span>, teenagers believe that their parents might be keeping tabs on their online and social media lives. Well Duh! So now, they are now using texting acronyms to hide their conversations from their parents. Growing up we had Pig Latin, which according to Wikipedia<\/a> <\/span>is a language game in which words are altered according to a simple set of rules. “The objective is to conceal the meaning of the words from others not familiar with the rules.” \u00a0utBay Iyay uessgay ityay isyay otnay uiteqay ethay amesay or in English, “but I guess it is not quite the same.”<\/p>\n
