Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 As far as abbreviations, I find that I have a hard time shifting understanding from one to another. For example, " PT " has always meant " physical therapy " to me and I have the worst time reassociating " PT " to mean " physical training. " Another one is " DNR " . I seem to only understand " Do Not Resussitate " and have to rethink it to mean " Dept of Natural Resources " even in a sentence like " The DNR today reported that there was a rise in polution... " " OT " means occupational therapy to me and not " Old Testamint " or " Off Topic " Anyone else have mistaken abbreviations in their head? Other abbreviations take on their own meaning by themselves even without the underlying meaning. For me " LOL " means someone is laughing not specifically " laugh out loud. " Where I used to work we had an abbreviation " 1pp " which means one-per-page which is one test question on one page of paper (It was a report we had to create.). It took a long time to associate that one correctly. Anyone have other abbreviation " problems " ? just curious. and the zoo Re: Digest Number 285 To >> >> >> >> HFA is High Functioning Autism. >> >> Kind Regards, >> >> >> > > > > > > > FAM Secret Society is a community based on respect, friendship, support > and acceptance.
