js 0 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I reckon so-called geek-speak has transcended techy types to become an integral part of mainstream language. After all, most 1st World people have access to a computer these days. It's the constant use of acronyms that gives me the top-tits ... a real pet hate. Link to post Share on other sites
