Save the Dates - Abbreviations

I don't know if its just me, or if its all engineers or what, but when I'm chatting with people (via gchat, sametime, or office communicator) I tend to abbreviate things all the time.  Pittsburgh gets abbreviated to Pitt.  Marquette University gets abbreviated to MU.  Engineering terms get truncated.  The Kentucky Derby is just The Derby (because honestly, what other Derby matters?)  Basically, I've developed my own language.

So, when I'm talking to someone about Save The Dates, of course that gets abbreviated.  Hence my hilarious conversation -


I'll let you know, but i'm pretty sure we are sending STD's to everyone who she put on the list. If I remember it was ~ 70 people
C and I should probably get on those STDs...
  HAHA
  STDs!
  Save The Dates
  LOL



Since this convo I have started to abbreviate Save the Dates as StDs.  Its helped a little.  But has still been some hilarious conversations.
