Why couldn't he have just typed it in full, like you did?

I understand the use of acronyms. It's easier and more efficient. However the writer or speaker is assuming that the reader or listener is familiar with the acronym.Why couldn't he have just typed it in full, like you did?

Just as a humorous, aside. When I first encountered the acronym, " lol". I thought it meant " lots of love."
Imagine the difference in nuance; If you had a friend recovering from an illness and you sent them a card.
Then signed off : best wishes, lots of love (lol) as opposed to best wishes, laughing out loud (lol).

That's why you don't use acronyms in a greeting card.
