Sinister: shorten any word that's too long!!

[n|ck g]

i just read rob's message and am elated that someone else knows about and 
likes the german language. i fell in love with it the first time that i 
heard it and now have moved here to speak it.

i completely agree. i love making up words on the spot. germans will 
literally make one word out of like... um... well the most words in one that 
i have ever seen is 7, the most common is 3 or 4. it's great.

but the best thing about the language is the constant shortning of words. 
any normal word that used to long has some shortned version or an acronym 
made of it.

ie. the word for where class takes place is "HS." i'm not even sure of what 
it stands for but everyone knows what you mean when you say it, so... hey, 
why not?

so i suggest that we, as sinisterines, start to overthrow the english 
language and shorten anything that we want and make words out of however 
many we see fit. rise up sinisterines! it's time to change some things :)
