The FBI's Jargon List: Internet Acronyms Galore

Posted by timothy on from the summer-internship dept.

Jason Koebler (3528235) writes Internet slang: Do you use it? If so, do it AYOR (at your own risk), because the FBI knows exactly what you're saying thanks to the agency's insane list of "Twitter shorthand." Rather than just rely on Urban Dictionary or a Google search, the agency has compiled an 83 page list of more than 2,800 acronyms. The FBI responded to a FOIA request with one of the most illegible scans of a document you'll ever see, embedded on a CD — so maybe the agency isn't all that up on its technology, or maybe it's just doing its best to KTAS (keep this a secret). Please use one of your favorites in a grammatical sentence referencing current events, and/or your favorite food, to help build up the corpus.

      I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that everything in this post is syntactically correct, and that the language itself is not unambiguous.

      Actually, no it is not.

      Syntactically correct American English places the comma inside the quote, and single quotes within double quotes: "I speak a secret language called 'Syntactically-Correct American English,' an archaic language which no one understands any longer." British English places the comma outside the quote. Furthermore, the double period is incorrect in either version of English as is the use of double quotes within double quotes.

      Second, semantically speaking its more proper to use "that" over "which" since the word references an syntactic object intended to be distinguished from other similar items: "I speak a secret language called 'Syntactically-Correct American English,' an archaic language that no one understands any longer."

      Third, its worth noting that "I speak a secret language called 'Syntactically-Correct American English,' an archaic language that no one understands any longer" is written English, not spoken English, and therefore when the original sentence I speak a secret language called "Syntactically Correct American English", an archaic language no one understands any more is spoken, its essentially indistinguishable from syntactically correct American English.

      You're wrong. You're following various "style guides". They are not authorities on the language, nor do their recommendations improve it in any objective way. Moving punctuation to the inside of a quotation is absurd - quotations are exact references and altering them defeats their entire purpose. Alternating between single and double quotation marks is altering the quotation, so it should not be done. It also does nothing to remove ambiguity, it just buries it one level deeper (or makes it worse in some cases). Not only can there be multiple levels of quotation, rendering your tactic pointless, the quotation itself can contain those symbols, causing your tactic to be harmful. Additionally, in most text the single quotation mark is visually similar, or even identical, to the apostrophe. If you actually want to remove ambiguity you have to use an escape character. English does not specify an escape character. When spoken, it becomes unwieldy after "he said she said" or the speaker's attempt to change introduce a third level of inflection to indicate different levels of quotation.

      You're wrong about "that" versus "which". The word "which" is used when referring to a specific member of an established set. The word "that" would refer to the set. The language is a member of the set of archaic languages. The sentence "There are balls in the large boxes that have rough edges which are green." unambiguously means the balls are green, the boxes are large, and the boxes have rough edges. The sentence "There are balls in the large boxes that have rough edges that are green." means the boxes are large, the boxes have rough edges, and the rough edges are green. The phrase "that which is" should clue you in to how it works.

      And you're wrong about whatever the fuck you're babbling about with regards to spoken. A language can be both spoken and written. You could dance it if you wanted to. It doesn't change the language when you're using the same grammar, syntax, and lexemes.
