If you are reading this, you are likely to be a frequent internet user. So, you probably know how frustrating it is when the internet is slow or lagging. Most likely, it may be a problem on the ISP's end.

ASAP: A Threat in an Acronym
The term ASAP is quite common in today's lingo, especially in classrooms and offices. Saying "as soon as possible" is a rather mild way of getting a message. However, when used as an acronym, it sounds a lot more intimidating.
Imagine your boss sends you an email asking you to submit a report "ASAP." This drives home a sense of urgency and possibly puts you in panic mode to get the task done. It is ironic when you think about what the acronym actually stands for.
Think of the Children!
