Reading Abbreviations...


Just out of curiousity of how many do and don't. Cause I read things one way and a friend reads it the other. So heres the question.

When you are reading and lets say "lol" or "brb" comes up, do you:
A.) Read it like it's spelt "lol" and "brb"
B.) Read out the words for the abbreviation "laugh out loud" and "be right back"

With me I'm a "B" dunno why, maybe it's like a righty or lefty thing, tall or short, smart or dumb, etc...

By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.
