Back in the day when people wrote letters, and your long distance love interest lived across town, we use to use acronyms in our romantic correspondence. I remember SWALK, (Sealed With A Loving Kiss) ITALY, (I Truly Always Love You), then their were the other ones, EGYPT, CHINA, NORWICH, and many more we used after a few dates. (Not always well received by girlfriends). I believe these originated in the UK during WW2, when soldiers and sweethearts wrote to each other, certainly avoided any censorship in letters from soldiers in theatres of war. My internet favourite is the smiley face:-).
