Please stop with the song acronyms.

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

Please stop with the song acronyms.

Post by subotai »

Half the time I have no idea what song you are talking about unless I go through the list on the front page. Please type the name of the song and kill the darn acronyms.


Thanks,

It really doesn't take that long to figure out the acronym, and it saves the writer a lot of time. So you could be considerate to the writer, rather than just yourself.

I hated them for a while too. Then I got used to them, it took about 6 months though.

I agree the acronyms drive me crazy as well. But once you get to know them they are better. I find myself using them when I talk to my friends as well and they are just like Whaaa! So I have to try not to use them when I talk.

I thought that DODO was an acronym until I got my Some Devil CD today. It was driving me crazy trying to figure it out.
