Because it's meant to be written, not spoken. "HP" for "hit points" is the exact same number of syllables, it exists because it takes less room when written.
Now, I agree with you that it's annoying when people choose to use the abbreviation when speaking even though it's not faster.
*cough*rhetorical question*cough*
I think I hate it so much because I hate saying it for one, and also because you don't even need to type in "www." anyways, thus making the whole affair redundant anyways.
Also in primary school we were taught that "W" was a "wicked witch" in my eyes it's like a coven of black arts wielding harpies
Good news! You're not! Jar-Jar is my favourite character. I don't follow what's going on in the Star Wars world and haven't seen all the movies, but out of the few movies I have seen of it, I like the one with Jar-Jar the best. I think it's because he isn't as serious a character as everyone else seems to be.
I just like him best. He's kinda cute with his haplessness. (I have no idea if that's a word). Although I'm sure I'll get told off for saying this, I ought to point out I'm not a fan of star wars. I don't dislike it either, but when the films were coming out I just didn't get into it.
I guess it's a little strange that one of my favourite games that I own is The Phantom Menace. (and guess what... the part where I have to follow Jar-Jar has always been my favourite part of the game)!

Wait... you don't use the abbreviation when speaking? So you'd say "world wide web dot telltale games dot com"?
I recently watched Homeward Bound - The Incredible Journey and I forgot how much I absolutely adore that movie. I also never knew Chance was played by Michael J. Fox. Yet, as much as I love that movie I know how to ruin it for everyone else by observing that the animals used in the movie are all long dead by now.
After I hit the post button I leaned back in my chair, lit up a smoke and just revelled in my mastery.
Except smoking isn't allowed in the house so I stood out in the rain and froze my arse off

This is the most heart touching post ever at TTG. I don't smoke, to be frank I think it's stupid, aside from relieving stress but some how, this is still touching...

Actually, I can't remember saying the "www" part of an address when giving it to someone, although I guess I may have done it. Seems to me I would just say "telltale games dot come". I mean if you say the "www", why not say the "http column slash slash" while you're at it?
Also, come to think of it, I'd probably say "three double-Us". Which, granted, is also longer than "world wide web", but shorter and less repetitive than "double-u, double-u, double-u".
I just realized that despite checking these forums just as obsessively as always, I haven't made a post since yesterday afternoon. Clearly, something is wrong with me.
I feel proud of my brain. Even though I haven't taken a math class in two years, I was still able to help my not-so-little brother with his calculus homework! Way to go, brain! You don't forget everything right after the exam after all!
I just finished assembling, printing, and checking off my progress on a 20 page checklist for the Reports in Birth by Sleep, plus another 8 pages of reference materials for Command Melding and hunting down Ice Cream ingredients.

Help me!
It's alright...just calm down and step away from the handheld.
The sad part is that I didn't touch the PSP through the entire process. I assembled the checklist from various guides on GameFAQs (with lots of editing to make it both complete and uniform) and I used an incomplete checklist I had been using to fill in the new checklist.
Meh, the checklist says that everything I have left to do involves going to the Mirage Arena. I probably should've started working on that earlier so I could spread it out through the game. There's also a little bit that involves advancing the storyline, but I'm holding off on that until everything else is done.
So...turns out you can't complete certain reports until finishing the game as other characters. For example, this Arena Match that can only be unlocked for Terra and Ven by beating the game as Aqua...who I'm playing as last...

This game hates me.
I'm pretty sure the game doesn't hate you...it hasn't stopped working for you.
Exactly the sort of response I was hoping for. I also would've accepted E.T. for the Atari, the 32X, and every one of Uwe Boll's films released on DVD, but I think you made the best choice.

That's quite the accolade, but I must rescind it i'm afraid

2. I think you're a bit mental, t'was only a joke my man

There's also the Atari 5200. and the Philips CD-I.
5200 is good, but only if you are using an emulator.
I seriously seem to be one of 3 people on the planet who thought ET was a good game. But you've got me on the Virtual Boy and Uwe Boll.
Getting sick, tried to convince myself I wasn't, but given how shitty I feel after just doing something as simple as cleaning my room, there's no real way around it.
I caved in and bought a wii...now I own every Next gen system...and kind of happy..I can play skies of arcadia, though I prefer the DC version..oh well I am happy.

I don't get it either.

Michael Cera's dead!?

Remember the Virtual Boy?

Now for what's really on my mind. This is my current reason for loving Japan. Maybe it's just that sappy love stories just get to me.
Also, I wish I could be in SoCal right now...

Its new to me!
