TBH, I'm a bit... concerned, that on an ESL forum, the acronym EAP (standing for English for Academic Purposes) isn't recognised, as in this industry, it's a VERY common term (almost as common and understood as ESL itself!)

Hello again

You see, you've gone and done it again, what on earth does TBH mean? You should realise that you are not addressing academics but merely Oral English Teachers. Anyway, this 'English for Academic Purposes' doesn't sound very academic to me; what's wrong with just plain old Jane 'Academic English;' and we take it for granted it does indeed have a purpose? Sounds more like clumsy English to me.

The IMHO really gets up my nose; if you are really sincere about something, you pay the reader the courtesy of writing it out in full; in my honest opinion, in acronym form, becomes a dismissive, and seems to either indicates that one's opinion is anything but honest, or, I am too busy as I have many other submissions to attend to on various other forums. Now am I right or am I right? You understand I am not having a go at you, I am having a general rant. I may be a mere Oral English Teacher, but I don't think our English should become too sloppy. Oh, I see what TBH means- I assume you have a full-sized keyboard, why not just type it out?
