Does drinking wine turn texting abbreviations into acronyms?
This is what I saw as I turned the corner at the grocery store the other day -
Even if I had been drinking, I am not sure I could have pronounced "GR8RW" as an acronym. Sure, "GR8" is a texting abbreviation (semiotics included) for "great" and "RW" is an initialization for "red wine", but an acronym these two do not make.
Of course I had to look up this new wine when I returned home.
What I found left me even more confused (and I still hadn't had a drink).
From the ad copy: "...created without taking any shortcuts." "No abbreviations necessary."

Agreed. I was perplexed as well.
