You should have seen it before it was abbreviated!

Its long in order to teach a lesson to people who do not abbreviate and use long tedious words instead, after learning this master word they automatically learn to use abbreviations like ASA etc. It is like when a teacher wants a class to be quiet he or she says it loudly so that children may dislike noise. Obviously all this happened when people were very young; they were in a way very abbreviated and cute. However, later on as they grew large they always wrote small, simple and petite words. As a matter of fact this is how English language have survived. But unfortunately the word 'abbreviation' or 'abbreviate' could not reach Whales in time.

lol! Good question! Here's another one I've heard: "Why is there an 's' in 'lisp' ?" I have no idea why these words are contradictory to what they mean or what they're 'against' (to say in a matter of speaking) !
