Well, you know, 腦細(成日自以為)時間非常寶貴,打多兩隻字畀小職員都實在太浪費。所以,腦細們都會用所謂 abbreviation a.k.a. (also known as) 英文簡寫落office email聖旨。加上腦細們創意無限,有時仲會自創簡寫,真係諗到頭都爆。睇唔明?死罪可免,不過以後嘅日子就….. 即刻試下你的英文簡寫修行去到邊!

Level 1 :  職場新人都要識

I need to hv the report a.s.a.p. LMK when it’s done.

呢條直程係送分題。a.s.a.p.,即係 as soon as possible, 應該係腦細嘅口頭禪,因為佢哋要嘅嘢一向都係 「即刻要,馬上要,而家要」。而LMK,即係Let me know。 全句就係「 I need to have the report as soon as possible. Let me know when it’s done」, 仲唔快啲 send 份report 畀腦細?

Level 2 : 高層尊享特權特稱

Pls rmb that I’ll LET & WFH. Feel free to e-mail me. Thx.

RMB並唔係人民幣,而係remember。到底腦細提你記得咩?LET 同 WFH 分別係 leave early today 同 work from home 呢2項高層先有嘅權利。全句就係「 Pls remember that I will leave early today and work from home. Feel free to e-mail me. Thanks. 」嘩!腦細提你佢會早走work from home,仲叫你有咩e-mail 搵佢,你唔係真係信呀?少年,你真的太年輕了。

Level 3: 有頭冇尾最難估

ICYMI.

英文簡寫最怕就係呢種,有頭冇尾,成封e-mail得幾隻字真係好難估。畀個提示大家,呢個時候就要望下個e-mail subject 喇!如果見到ICYMI,你應該覺得個subject:「又係你呀陳生?」因為ICYMI = in case you missed it , a.k.a., 你做漏嘢呀!嗱嗱聲去補鑊啦!
