[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 671290, member: 11791"] They were brought in because we tend to use WAY too many acronyms, and people not associated with this board (i.e. new members), and search engines, have a very hard time figuring out what we are talking about. So an attempt is made to adjust the meaning so that there is some sense. Yes, sometimes it gets comical. Too many people use the letters T and Y to mean thank you... But it's also a nickname. People type abbreviations without punctuation, and get unusual results, like going to Washington Difficult Child (when they should have typed Washington D.C.) Some of us are in the habit of expanding short forms ... and it becomes double-expanded (happens to me a bit). If all of us avoided acronyms as much as possible, the filter wouldn't be needed in the long run. But in the mean time... maybe we all need to get out of the habit of short forms and abbreviations. JMO, of course. [/QUOTE]
