It seems that we now have a society that suffers from this
condition, does it not? People abbreviate titles, work jargon, terms that apply to
their avocations, etc. Soooo....What about writing a humorous essay about this
phobia? Perhaps you could launch your essay with a quote about brevity, employing it
satirically. For instance, "Brevity is the soul of wit" can become "Brevity is the soul
of the witless." Then, you can demonstrate how making acronyms and abbreviated words is
a guise for those who lack vocabulary, as outside the workplace where such acronyms are
in use, they are unable to understand well-composed sentences. Or, it may be a way of
preventing stuttering as there are only one or two-syllable words
spoken.
Such a long, ridiculous-looking word just cannot be
taken seriously, can it?
