Before teaching you guys some English acronyms, let's first start off with what is an acronym?

在教你們一些英語縮略詞之前，我們先來了解一下什麼是縮略詞？

And BTW, by the way, why do Americans use abbreviations or acronyms in English?

順便問一下，為什麼美國人在英語中使用縮寫或首字母縮略詞？

Well, a lot of people use acronyms or abbreviations in text messages, because abbreviations will shorten down words or phrases, and it'll make texting a lot easier.
