The overuse of acronyms to save having to write it out. They are fine so long as you know what they stand for, otherwise you have to look it up.

@coluber2001,
Couldn't agree more, and they often don't save time or effort.

@izzythepush,
When people use a small i as a personal pronoun to show their lack of ego thus attracting great attention to it. Maybe substitute "We" instead.
