    I think it's annoying how the people who made the English alphabet and every english word made it so... strange. I much prefer Japanese.

    I never really think about these things. I'd just say the words rather than abbreviating them if it doesn't make sense.

    Not azn! :mad23453534534:

    Also, I don't use 'A' when saying acronymned 'NPC' or 'RPG'. It makes you sound like a dolt.

    As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to write it as an acronym then you should read it as an acronym. If you want it to be read as the expanded form of the acronym, then write it as the expanded form. It only makes sense.

    I say an NPC because it just sounds weird if you use "a."


    ...I think this has something to do with being left-handed.
