saya hafal ini dari kecil, orangtua saya adalah pengguna ORARI dan RAPI pada masa-masa keemasannya, untungnya sekarang jadi kelihatan agak propesional kalau harus spelling berbagai singkatan pada para pelanggan spesial khususnya orang-orang pelayaran nah nah :D

ada juga sih singkatan yang dianggap biasa, misalnya F diganti Fanta, U diganti Ungu, B diganti Bebek huehee J diganti jadi Jakarta, cuma yang paling lucu ama seorang teman yang bilang J - Julia Perez :D
