Today, my friend sent me an instant message, telling me how excited she was that she was accepted to a FIT Summer Program. I told her I was so proud, and that she can finally lose that excess weight. She told me that she meant Fashion Institute of Technology. FML

Your friend brought it upon herself if she said "fit" instead of spelling out F.I.T. Still, you should have asked for clarification on what she meant before saying what you did.

That's a very unfortunate slip xP If she just said the word "fit", it's not your fault, but but if she did indeed spell out F.I.T., you're screwed. And #3, it really is called "The Fashion Institute of Technology" lol.

Well... If she were using an abbreviation, she would have said "an FIT" because, verbally, you would say "I got an F on my report card" and that would transfer over to how you would use it in text. If she were saying fit, she would have said "a fit", like someone would say "I saw a fit woman at the gym today." It just seemed odd that you could get that lost in translation... Also, Fashion Institute of Technology? You mean Florida Institute of Technology?

well technically...it really should "a F", not "an F". May sound a little funky, but it follows the rules, a before consonants and an before vowels

"f" would be phonetically spelled "eff" so therefore it is an exception to the rule.

you're wrong, paradoxsaurus. .... which is really disappointing because I had such high hopes when I saw your username.

it actually is her fault for calling her out on her weight.

Who in the world? Like everyone, lol. unless they're into that kind of thing (which I'm not), I doubt people know that there's a Fashion Institute of Technology. it's also just a plain ridiculous sounding name

ooohh... did you know that she was applying for FIT? #7, if she said FIT without the periods, some acronyms w/out periods, so it could have been fit or F.I.T. besides, if she said it in an instant message then she wouldn't say "F-I-T", she's just put FIT which could be either way

#8 - Sorry that not everyone pays attention to design schools. I never heard of it before, and besides, FIT is a word, so it's easy to mistake it for not being an acronym.
