The Dark Ages

As we keep introducing initials in place of words, it shouldn't be long before we have forgotten what the original word was that the letter represents. Of course that was the goal originally, however, I think the unintended consequences will be to dumb down the language to the point that eventually we will be back where we started; just pointing and grunting. Rather than engage in this politically correct nonsense, I think it would be much more useful, and fruitful to use all words in the language, old and new, and to learn their meanings, and to then use other words to challenge, praise, condemn, demean, agree, with whatever is being expressed.
