Acronyms, in my opinion, are stupid and unnecessary. They are just for lazy people who don't want to spell out words and therefore do not appreciate good grammar. I appreciate good grammar and can find it annoyingly difficult to talk to people when all they want to do is the use the first letter of words to create a bunch of seemingly random letter that only they understand. For this reason, I find it hard to think of new acronyms when a lot of them are already there. HJNTIY could be one, I guess. Standing for He's Just Not That Into You (totally not a stolen movie title.) TJK could mean Totally Just Kidding, and YRG8 could mean You're Great, which is definitely something everyone wants to hear that away.
There are many places where you should never use acronyms. When writing an email, especially a formal or professional one. When writing a school or business essay, acronyms just make you look juvenile and make it appear as if you can't spell. I doubt you would be picked for the job if you had acronyms on your resume, and I know I would not be accepting you into my college if that was the way you were going to spell.
