That's not a word!

This is my new favourite segment.*

It's called "That's not a word!"

Today's "That's not a word!" goes out to:

asap"

"Asap" is not a word, dummy, it's an ac-ro-nym. That means you spell out the letters.

"Asap"! Try not to use it in a sentence today!

* Note, while the use of "segment" would ordinarily imply that it will appear with some type of regularity, the author makes no promises or undertakings that this will be the case.

When - to save time - I stopped putting periods after each letter, it was as if the enemy had won.

Fight on, sister.

Can you include 'finessing' please? Last time I looked in the dictionary it was a finesse was a noun.

While we're on the topic of acronyms, let me just express my absolute distaste for "AKA". I came across a blogger on another site who had so cleverly used AKA to separate two nicknames. The guy's handle was "Money aka Mr. Bitches". I immediately vowed to elbow this guy in the dick if I were ever fortunate enough to cross paths with him in the real world.

Thanks for adding me to your neighbourhood. I returned the favour. Feel free to stop by my comedy blog if there's ever time that needs killing.

What's the blogging equivalent of elbowing a guy in the dick, I wonder?

You try and elbow my dick and I'll break your arm in 2 places and then while you're squirming I will pee on your face.

If I ever saw you in public, I would slice your throat ear to ear and pull your tongue out through the hole while I watched you choke on your on blood and die, you fucking internet coward.

How about "conversate"? That one really pisses me off. Just say "converse" or "have a conversation" if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Also Sully, AKA is an acceptable acronym for "Also known as", unless you pronounce it "akah" you should be free to use it without being insulted by internet douchebags.

Now, now. Play nicely, please.

That is a fairly shitty word. We of the plain English movement would probably just say "talk", but I take your point. Good work.

I have to say as an inhabitant of this fair state of Florida, and an avid karate fan,

That's not a word!
