    Rant: I'm really sick of acronyms (IRSOA)

    I get so tired of reading articles in gun magazines (AIGM) where the author continuously uses acronyms(CUA) every third or fourth sentence (TOFS). These articles are usually written to let the poor retard non military personnel (PRNMP) know that the author knows a secret way of communicating...
