What's the most annoying type of message people send that includes too many abbreviations or acronyms on WhatsApp?

Messages overloaded with abbreviations and acronyms can definitely be frustrating, especially if they're not widely understood. Some of the most annoying types include:

1. **Overuse of Acronyms**: When someone uses too many acronyms without context, it can be confusing. For example, "FYI, I'll BRB after I finish my ASAP tasks, and then we can discuss the new KPI metrics" might leave you scrambling to decode.

2. **Inconsistent Abbreviations**: Switching between different abbreviations for the same thing or using inconsistent ones can make it hard to follow the conversation.

3. **Uncommon Abbreviations**: Using obscure or personalized abbreviations that only make sense to the sender can be alienating.

4. **Lack of Punctuation**: Abbreviations mixed with poor punctuation can make sentences run together, making them even harder to read. For example, "OMG I need 2 talk 2 u ASAP b4 u go" can be a bit of a mess.

5. **Mixed Languages**: Combining abbreviations from different languages or regions can add an extra layer of confusion.

When faced with these types of messages, it might help to ask for clarification or gently remind the sender to use clearer language.
