Ya I think so, except in rare circumstances. But the question still comes up, how do you say it “in your head” when you’re reading it, even if you don’t voice it... I actually say LOL “loll” in my head, believe it or not, unlike IIRC...

What a strange person! Acros are to save time typing, neh? So, why wouldn’t one voice it out “in one’s head”? Whenever I read an acro, I unsuffit.

Unless a person is too important and their time too valuable to take that extra nanosecond or two to do it? ;-)
