talk about acronyms you should know, this is probably gonna be pretty useful, let's start!

with your friends, you might say “send me a text with your ETA so I know what time you

guys will be here.”

The next one is “DIY”. DIY means “do it yourself”. You might

see this in hardware stores in your country. I like doing DIY projects because I'm very

creative. that was a lie.

“AKA”. Stands for “also known as”, people nicknames,

or for Super Heroes, for example, Superman AKA Clark Kent.

Name A AKA Name B.

Next is “MIA”, meaning “missing in action”. This was used in military but it is also used

among a group of friends as well if somebody from your group is missing. You go to a party

and you can't find your friend, you could say “oh my gosh! my friend is MIA, we don't

know where he went.”

Next, “ID”. ID is very very common. ID means “identification”,

you might need to show your ID at the airport, for example.
