#if you want to know what the acronyms mean just lmk !

[a-sip-of-milo]

i wanted to say something about your tone tag post because it immediately rubbed me the wrong way. they are hard to memorize because, unlike the other acronyms you used as examples, tone tags have changed multiple times. when they first really got popularized (which i watched happen in some of the first spaces they really popped up in), there were instances of multiple tags meaning one or multiple things. “/g” was “genuine,” except when it meant “general,” so then use “/gen.” except sometimes “/gen” means “genuine question,” or “general” again, so then use “/genq.” meanwhile, stuff like “LMK” has always been “let me know,” same with the others being consistent

like, i definitely agree that it shouldn’t be used as a reason to completely dismissive of tone tags, but at the same time a lot of people get really mad or upset at people for not understanding them. when the point of tone tags is to help people (primarily autistic people) understand tone without having to “decode” anything, getting shamed for not understanding them is just cycling back around to being the same ableist stuff again. and people are allowed to express their frustration about it not working for them

i’m not saying this to be rude, even a glance at your blog and i can tell you’re someone that genuinely wants to be a helpful resource and place of positivity for neurodivergent people, so i understand that post was made in good faith. but it came across as very dismissive and the language of “saying they’re hard to remember is just an excuse” is ableist, especially seeing as it’s mostly directed at other neurotypical people

Lol what.

I explicitly stated that I disliked when people used it as an excuse to hate on those who use them.

In that same post, I tell you that I understand having a hard time remembering.

Even in a previous post, I state that you’re allowed to not want to use them and express that to the people around you. Never once have I said otherwise. So, I have no idea where you’ve managed to come up with this.

So today was fucking tight. I got a new job. Btw, I quit Denny's like two weeks ago. I was a bit stressed; without that steady income, things were a bit difficult. Luckily, The Lady understood what my intentions were, so that made it easier to search. For the most part, I've been looking for a bartending job (I mean I've been putting time & $$$ into the training, ya dig?), but I've been meditating on a job where I enjoy myself and feel fulfilled. I wrote down my intentions for the month, and I set that I wanted a bartending job by April 15th. My homie from way back hits me up & tells me that the restaurant, where he is a manager, is looking for a "shift supervisor" (in quotes bc they use a particular acronym & I'm still waiting on official paperwork), and that I should send him my resume. That was on Wednesday. His GM likes what he sees and we set a meeting for today. I meet with one manager at 3pm, the GM around 3:40, and they're asking me to "join the team" by 4pm. Really, I am excited because they seem to really need someone to come in & help really lead/facilitate the shift, which is exactly what I want to be doing. Plus the starting rate is sounding pretty nice, as well. 😅 More than anything, I'm grateful that I was able to manifest this for myself. I set the intention, put a date on it, put my energy into that area, and (even if it's not a bartending job rn) I ended up with a new job — a professional step up & an opportunity to really put my skills to use. I'm excited, and I'm grateful to find myself in line with The Universe. I really believe that I'll be able to move myself forward and be of real service. ALSO, I saw some of my choreography in a music video today!!!! I assisted Evan on a music video, and some of the movement I put together actually made it in the project (a good bit of it actually). It's just nice to know that I can continue to build myself up as a professional and an artist, at the same time. Moreover, this is MY shit. My vibe, my movement, my time. I earned it, I worked for it, I believed in it, and it stuck. Oh, so grateful. I just wanted to share. If anyone needs any good energy, lmk. I feel like The Universe is setting me up with an abundance so I can share it. Whatever you have in your heart, it's coming. 🙏🏾

Everyone wants to write better emails that people will actually interact with. Maybe you’re struggling to communicate properly with your coworkers in the business world, or just want to improve your knowledge of email standards. 5 Tools to Write Better Emails That People Will Read and Reply To 5 Tools to Write Better Emails That People Will Read and Reply ToWriting isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But you don’t need to be a great writer to send a great email. All you need are a few tools to ensure quality messages.

What you might be surprised to find is that email carries its own set of lingo. If you’re not used to these, opening an email to find it full of “EOD”s and “LMK”s will send you on a long trip to Google just to decipher a message — even if you know other internet slang.

Don’t worry, we’re here to help. Here’s a big list of email acronyms so you can get caught up on what they all mean. Once you’ve mastered them, using these to create catchy subject lines will improve your own messages!

1. OOO (Out of Office)

Let’s start with an easy one. OOO, or out of office, means that you’re not at work when you reply to the email. Perhaps you’re on vacation for the week and are only checking email periodically. This acronym lets people know that they shouldn’t expect an immediate response. It’s typically used as an automatic responder.How to Set Up an Email Out of Office Responder Before You Go on a Trip How to Set Up an Email Out of Office Responder Before You Go on a TripWouldn’t you love to go on vacation knowing you don’t have to check your email? If you can’t rely on an assistant while you’re away, turn to autoresponders in Gmail.

Example:

“I am OOO until Friday, August 25. Please direct all questions to Mark Simmons.”

2. WFH (Working From Home)

Like OoO, this one lets others know that you’re working remotely for the day. It’s useful if someone asks you to do something that requires you to be on-site.Want to Work Remotely? Here’s How to Convince Your Boss Want to Work Remotely? Here’s How to Convince Your BossDo you really have to be at the office to do your job? If you could work from home, follow this step-by-step guide to convince your boss to let you try it.

Example:

“WFH Today. Our meeting in room 24B will instead take place on Wednesday.”

3. EOM (End of Message)

Here’s a big time-saver. If your entire message fits into the subject line, people don’t need to waste time opening it. Thus, ending your header with EOM allows people to read the subject, take action if needed, and delete the message.

Example:

“Sam let us know that we’re clear to proceed on this project. EOM”

4. PRB (Please Reply By)

We all know some people who take forever to respond to email. If you’re sending a message and need to know everyone’s input by a certain time, include a PRB date to request a swift reply.

Example:

“I need to know who can help out at the charity event this weekend. PRB Thursday 8/24”

5. NRN (No Reply Necessary)

Have you ever been chugging along at your work, only to see an email notification that draws your attention? Upon opening it, you find a simple “Great, thanks!” This wastes your time and email space. Including NRN in your subject lets people know that they don’t have to respond with a two-word answer.How to Do More in a Day by Blocking Mobile Distractions How to Do More in a Day by Blocking Mobile DistractionsWhen you’re trying to concentrate, distractions are a nightmare. It’s time to block distractions and get things done with some free apps for Android and iOS.

Example:

“We’re meeting in Room 5A instead of 4C. NRN”

6. NSFW (Not Safe for Work)

This is a common abbreviation you’ll see elsewhere online to indicate that the content you’re about to open is explicit. Usually, this refers to a sexually explicit material or an influx of swearing that you wouldn’t want to have open in the workplace for your coworkers to see or hear. You should probably think twice about sending this kind of content through business email, though.How to Ban Windows 10 Ads & NSFW Content from Your Desktop How to Ban Windows 10 Ads & NSFW Content from Your DesktopWindows 10 may be crossing a line with desktop ads and NSFW content. Microsoft and third-party developers can push promotional material directly onto your desktop. We show you how you can defend yourself.

Example:

“[NSFW] This new Chris Rock stand-up bit is vulgar but hilarious!”

7. SFW (Safe for Work)

Flipping the above acronym on its head gives us SFW. You can use this acronym when you’re sending a file or linking to something that sounds inappropriate but really isn’t.

Example:

“[SFW] The pictures on the EarthPorn subreddit make for great desktop wallpapers!”

8. FYI (For Your Information)

You’ve probably heard FYI in everyday life, but it can have a few different uses depending on how you use it. Used in the body of an email, it can indicate a side thought. But in the subject of an email, it’s commonly used to let the receiver know that you’re providing this email just so that have the info contained inside and don’t expect a response. This is commonly used when forwarding a message.

Example:

“FYI: Next month, IT support will be upgrading everyone to Office 2016.”

9. AR (Action Required)

Sometimes it’s tough to determine whether an email is requiring anything of you or if it’s just for information. The AR acronym can help clear this up. Use it to let the recipient know that you’re giving them a specific task to complete. You’ll probably expound on this in the email body.

Example:

“Frank wasn’t happy with last month’s performance. AR: Create a report of our hours worked.”

10. LET (Leaving Early Today)

If you’re heading out earlier than usual, include this message in your subject line. This lets others know that you won’t be around until the end of the day.How Just 4 Steps Can Help You Enjoy a 5-Hour Work Day How Just 4 Steps Can Help You Enjoy a 5-Hour Work DaySpending long hours on work isn’t necessary. You can use some proven methods and tools to help you achieve a 5-hour work day and maximize productivity.

Example:

“Can’t help clean up after the presentation — LET”

11. EOD/COB (End of Day/Close of Business)

When giving a timeline for when you plan to send something (or when you need something done by), these are useful acronyms. They’re basically interchangeable. As a plus COB can generically refer to work hours somewhere else, such as “I need this by COB Pacific Time.”

Example:

“I’ll have that spreadsheet to you by EOD.”

12. BTW (By the Way)

You’ve almost certainly used this in informal conversation. BTW works to add an afterthought to an email message. If you forget to send some important info and have to send a second email right after it, including BTW helps people realize it’s connected to your past message.

Example:

“BTW, I forgot to mention that anyone who’s willing to help with this will get lunch on me.”

13. TLTR (Too Long to Read)

Nobody likes an essay of an email. Taking ten minutes to read through a complicated and lengthy message is a lot to ask of some busy folks. You can use TLTR to kindly let someone know that their message is too long and you’d appreciate a summary.5 Email Sins You May Be Committing… & How to Redeem Yourself 5 Email Sins You May Be Committing… & How to Redeem YourselfEmail is here to stay but there are some sinners who are making it worse for the rest of us. Even if you are a sinner, you’re not doomed to an eternity of suffering.

Example:

“TLTR. I’d love to help with this but I don’t have the time to digest the full message right now.”

14. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read)

This is a sister to the above acronym and is also wildly popular online. Whenever you post a big chunk of text, it’s customary to include a TL;DR section at the bottom summarizing it in a few sentences or bullet points. Then people who don’t care to read the entire email can just get the highlights. It’s not as common to include in a subject, but it could still work.30 More Internet Slang Words and Acronyms You Need to Know 30 More Internet Slang Words and Acronyms You Need to know these are just some of the slang words and acronyms today’s youth is speaking online or in the real world. Add them to your street speak.

Example:

“TL;DR: The Rogers case has become a big problem. Don’t bring this up until we’ve made an announcement on Thursday. Reach out to Dan with questions.”

15. Y/N (Yes or No?)

When you ask a question in an email and need a response, sometimes you just want a quick yes or no. If you don’t need people to send a lengthy reply, indicate that a simple positive or negative response will do.

Example:

“Is the new internet restriction affecting your work? Y/N”

What Email Acronyms Do You Love?

These aren’t the only email acronyms, but many others are variations of the core group listed here. Knowing these will help you process email more quickly, and even form more engaging emails when you’re the sender.

However, you should beware of using abbreviations too often or in the wrong situations. A quick WFH to your best friend at work lets them know you’re working remotely, but it’s probably not a good idea to respond to a vice president’s email with TLTR. Sometimes typing out the full phrase is worth the extra space so your email looks professional.
