Press secretary Jay Carney won't promise that the White House will steer clear of taking quotes out of context, as he said Republicans did with President Obama's comment last week that "the private sector is doing fine."

"That's a rather remarkable question," Carney said during the White House briefing Monday, adding that he wouldn't "speculate" on whether the Obama team would avoid taking Mitt Romney's comments out of context.

If the media had been doing their job 4 years ago Obama would not be in the White House!

“pls” means please

No, actually "please" means please.

PLS means; Primary lateral sclerosis, or Pacific Laser Systems; or Performance Learning Systems, or Pacific Laser Systems, or Peninsula Library Systems, or Palletized Load System, or Playlist file, or Pohang Light Source, or Programmable Limit Switch, or Personnel Locator System, or Plumb, Level and Square, or Place Last Seen, or Programmable Logic Sequencer etc etc etc...

obviously pls can mean one of a zillion things, depending on context. It’s [that means “it is”] depending on context - which none of your examples take into account - which makes your post irrelevant.

The post only serves to tell us that you are old.

i would never have thought that would need explanation - but, there you have it :)

Thanks. I'm old school so I'm not used to people abbreviating words that really don't need to be abbreviated. It really makes it easier to read a comment or a posting if people spell words the correct way.

Therein lies the rub. Language is different for everyone by degree - besides the language proper, sometimes it's dialect, sometimes it's words, sometimes it's abbreviation, but there are always differences in meanings. Your thought was that it doesn't need abbreviation. That was different than my thought. No worries.

Obama brags about jobs created in 27 months. Why didn’t some reporter jump up and shout “But you’ve been President for 35 months.”?
