Is there anything so annoying as seeing random letters and trying to make sense of them? CR means... Consumer Reports? Costa Rica? Copyright? Credit Rating? Court Reporter?

I know now it means Continuing Resolution, but I had to click the link to find out what the heck this was about. Why? Etiquette says you write it out the first time and put initials in parenthesis after it, then you can refer to it as CR and get your point across. As it stands, I actually have no idea what your post was about because I had to research what the heck CR meant.

Why would you do this? We talk about Democrats not being able to message... I give you Exhibit A.
