Well, I said some of us because I was being inclusive of myself--it's (at least partially) true for me...

Most of the time for me it is purely because of laziness and less energy expenditure, but on some fairly rare occasions, I have actually gone to the acronym finder thingy or airport code finder thingy and looked up an acronym just so I could use it here.

But not very often, I promise...
