I was going to quote one of my favorite haiku poets, because I thought this was genius, and also oh so pertaining to life:
That which rules my life
is aim instant messenger.
How tragic this is
But then I realized it has a fundamental flaw. An unforgivable flaw really: acronym redundancy. Let’s just recall that the “im” of aim stands for instant messenger. And I don’t want to hear any arguments that the need for syllables makes this acceptable. It’s like when people say HIV virus…that one really irks me. The V stands for virus, okay, people??
