Did you ever develop your own abbreviation scheme?

In what context did you do it?

These days, word processors come with automatic spell correction and you can add new abbreviations to have it “correct.” In times gone by, it wasn’t quite so easy, but it still worked. I thought it was so cool, sometimes I would just watch the screen to see my abbreviation turn into a fully-spelled word. Short abbreviations to long words were the coolest. Ok. Ok. It’s a geeky thing to do. What can I say?
