In IT parlance, SP means Service Pack. What you're doing is the
equivalent of my mother signing off her mails LOL, which - for her -
means 'lots of love', but for the rest of the world means 'laughs out
loud'. Contextually, I understand your SP because it's in my Omniweb
folder, but if it weren't, I wouldn't, much like if anyone but my
mother signed off LOL, I would ask what was so funny.

It's all about context.
