Acronym confusion

I always have to shorten My Hero Academia to bnha (from the Japanese title "Boku no Hero Academia") because MHA in my head has always been "Murfreesboro Historical Association" 😂

I love acronyms

It’s so funny how that works! Whenever I see people talking about POS = point of sale I always think of piece of shit 😂, especially since some really are very unobliging. Tone signifiers (is that what they’re called?) add extra confusion with even more arbitrary acronyms that are English-centric (/pos is supposed to mean “positive”?) but I try to be a little understanding because I know some people find emojis hard to understand, which is also fair. But I do think that misunderstanding /pos as the insult would be a big risk!!
