Never knew what was until I Googled it. So then went down to the Post Office and grabbed me a few of them. Even had to ask the guy behind the counter how to fold it up while I was there.

SFRB.. sounds better with the word FREE in front of it...FREE SFRB

Thanks for the question and the answers because I am old and menially challenged and do not like Letters in lieu of words. I quit the military industrial complex because that is all they use; and I personally find it meaningless and demeaning which conveys no information and only serves to constrain communication in a meaningless way.

Communications purpose is to convey information; acronyms purpose is to inflate the ego of the user and exclude the receptor.

So thank you all
 
Acronyms have use in today's world. I have to disagree with you Balac. That's like saying there's no use for words you don't know yet (not in ones vocabulary) and people are inflating their ego by having an expanded vocabulary. There are plenty of words I know that others don't, does that mean I shouldn't use them because someone else doesn't know what they mean? I can tell you the reason I learn/use words/acronyms is not to inflate my ego but to become better educated. There are also a lot of words/acronyms I don't know but I love finding them because it increases my knowledge. Acronyms are mainly used for a group of words that are used regularly. They've become more widely used in an age were we are trying to be as efficient as possible.
