前幾天我收到同事一則電郵，電郵只有標題寫著：Meeting changed from 3pm to 4pm, same conference room NRN (會議由3時改到4時，地點不變，NRN)

由於我不太肯定這個句末的NRN是什麼意思，於是我上網搜尋一番，發現了許多解釋，但都沒找到個適合的。由於急於回覆，我便寫道：Ok, sounds good! But what does NRN mean? (沒問題，但NRN是什麼意思?)

他隨即發回信息：It means no reply necessary 😉 (即是「不用回覆」)

我登時語塞，不就是叫我不用回覆，我卻走去回覆…實在自慚形穢。

這些電郵縮寫有時會玩死收件者，收件者要上網找都頗費時失事，所以我們實在有必要把一些常用的縮寫牢記下來，否則對寄件者來說是省時工具，對收件者來說，卻要花上時間去查找，以倍數的時間去閱讀一篇電郵，還可能弄出笑話來。以下綜合了一些較常見的縮寫，大家不妨記一記，平時又可抄下上司、同事和工作夥伴的常用縮寫，閱讀起來就更稱心了。
