As I've commented previously, this silly attempt to save pixels and a few key strokes on the part of the writer leads to consternation and frustration in wasting time searching the internet to come up with obscure acronyms on the part of the reader. In this case: HYP stands for Harvard, Yale, Princeton. I had to look it up, also, and my dad was a member of the local HYP Club for a short time.

However, the practice will not stop. For whatever reasons people love to use acronyms! So take this comment as humor, entertainment or as one more foible of human behavior (mine and others).
