Acronyms should have a period mark after each letter, instead of there just being the letters.

O.K. First of all, I am not a "she"; I am a "he." I have no idea of how you had gotten the idea that I am a female, but let me assure you that I am not. Secondly, I think you misunderstand my argument. I am not a traditionalist, but I am a traditionalist. In other words, I am more of a centrist in reference to traditionalism. I believe, as I had stated, that tradition is not logical in most situations, but in some, it is logical. Also, I do not believe that people should speak as they did in archaic times long past, nor do I believe that 'social blur' is always a bad thing. At times, it is a good thing, which in these times, it becomes progress. For example, the archaic versions of the English language were, over time, subjected to 'social blur' because of the changing times and cultures of the societies. This is what evolved the language. So, I am not asking that we all revert. All I am stating is that when referring to language, 'social blur' is good, but should only be utilized if it does not infringe on the grammatical, punctuational, etc., correctness of the word, phrase, sentence, etc. For example, the word "database" was originally "data base" (two words). However, because of 'social blur', our brains and selves determined over time that it was easier and more efficient to link them together into one word, thus fusing them into "database" (one word). Solidifying the word was the best choice to achieve efficiency, since, normally, one would apply hyphenation. But, since hyphenation could not apply, linkage was the next best choice. So, in the case of "data base" vs. "database", 'social blur' is a very good thing, because it increases efficiency and simplification, making it easier to say the word, but still maintaining the grammatical, punctuational, etc., correctness of the word, phrase, sentence, etc. Also, by the way, you had stated that 'laser' is a word, as stated on [http://dictionary.reference.com...]. But, as you obviously had failed to notice, there is an acknowledgement about its origin below the definition that proves, according to this source, that it is an acronym. You had also stated that [quote, "And, honestly, if someone wanted to know information about lasers THAT badly, there's always Google."] However, [google.com] is not always a credible source of information, for [google.com] only filters the Internet and presents the person with a list of websites that apparently contain the information regarded. It does not always present the person with credible websites. Therefore, [google.com] cannot be considered a viable research source; nor can it be considered nonviable. Only the websites can. And, to restate, the web sites are not always accurate with the information they present nor always credible with THEIR sources and/or the information itself. Another thing, by the way...a definition as displayed on [http://dictionary.reference.com...] is always fine; I am not saying that simplicity is always illogical or bad. All I am saying is that the individual letters in an acronym supply a person with a sufficient amount of information as to the definition of the word as well as the process(es) with just themselves alone. Not every person has the time (or really feels like doing it either...) to turn on a computer or device, and then surf the Internet for the full, yet possibly simple definition and/or explanation of the specified word. Also, the acronyms 'wtf', 'omg', etc., are, as just stated, acronyms. Therefore, one must place the period markers. However, not as symbolic representations of the acronym's meaning (as you seem to think I believe, which I had never believed that, nor was I trying to imply or state that I did), but as dividers and indicators. They are dividers because they divide the letters, and therefore indicates through this that each letter represents a separate word of the acronym's meaning. Also, by dividing the letters and indicating the fact of individual representation, the period marks are also, at the same time, indicating the acronym's evident identification as an acronym. I do believe this debate is fun. No, I mean, it really is because it is such a challenge. Thank you; I am enjoying myself. Oh, by the way, you said you are about to eat some lasagna. I just wanted to say that you are lucky. Lasagna is so delicious. I hope you enjoy, because, for all the intelligent arguments you have been giving me, you have earned it. Plus, lasagna tastes awesome!!! :) LASAGNA RULES!!! WOO-HOO!!!
