“Initialised” has toxically given way to our everyday acronyms  our acrimonious acronyms

it seemed to him initialise lent itself rather to the beginning of things either a robust action or that which "initially" piqued thought   not relegated to the dull misery and euphemystic alchemies of Acronenames

Acrimonious Acronyms or Code for the Knowing and Cypher to the Unknowing

it was so much litter  like paper coffee cups and waxpapered soda cups aluminum cans starkwhite Styrofoam containers stained and still-containing food remnants ants and bluebottle flies 

         

acronyms are shorthand and will never rival longhand

                                                                                       but that wasnt the idea

Samuel Johnson said the road to hell is paved with good intentions

Gosh!

          he tried to imagine if nothing invited unintended consequences  regardless what others may have suggested  or literally warned  but they would have been casually disregarded because one is required to be steadfast and assured their beneficence was infallible

he wanted to be infallible

what would that be like

impossible

someone should have uttered quietly into their ears  Your beneficence is fiction utterly impossible    Oz is fiction

but they wouldnt have heard

theyre too busy still trying to dismantle all of the New Deal
