It's not the abbreviation itself. It's the complete overruse just for the sake of use.

Does anyone else find abreviations like this slightly annoying in general? Like you know SMH and IMHO and LOL and others? It just feels like we are dumbing down the english language.

Yes, I feel this way most of the time.

I've never seen someone use smh. Actually most abbreviations I have not seen. In texts and chats its fine but if you're using abreviations and slang on messages boards you are getting lazy.

Why is the word "abbreviation" so long?

It's not really that long. Compare it to something like antidisestablishmentarianism and it's actually quite short by comparison.

Yolo is a philosophy that allows me to find stupid people easily so I can never associate with them again.
