FYI
...or abbreviations in general. FYI = For Your Information. Meaning you don't have to do anything, just read and be informed. But funnily enough this abbreviation is not known by every English-speaking individual. There are others too, where I got completely confused. For example, have you ever heard "I'm OOTO"? Which kinda in English sounds when read like "I'm auto" (I am car). This got me the first time I saw it. Means Out Of The Office.
Bet there are many other examples. Let me know if you have one. Preferrably not in Portuguese :)

He Anika,
I'm not uot sure whether the following example
a) is understandable, due to the German pronunciation
b) does make sense in English
c) it's too foolish
However here it is:
"asap" (as soon as possible) sounds like "Ass Up" (German pronunciation)
Ze German
