Cool

glad to see lotta dicsuction on how to properly conjugate acronyms now. i liek words too :3

past tense of "lol" though is "lol"



if people were going round saying liek "loot'd" or "camp'd", y'all'd've had an interesting observation that sorta make some sense, but they not and here you is arguing for a unintuitive conjugation that confusing because it fail to preserve the nature of the acronym.

how you think a normal person gonna pronounce "cced" if they never seen it? They might think it a acronym and ask, "what see-see-ee-dee stand for?" or they might say, "what is see-sed?" utilizing proper capitalization help a little if you say "CCed," but then they still gonna probably ask what "see-see" means 90% the time.

the " 'd" preserve the acronym while indicating something else, which everyone (even people it rustle) understand as indicating it already happened. it intuitive and that why it utilized.
