I was taught that the first time you use an acronym in a piece of writing you always spell it out. Even for common ones. So you'd write "The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reported that blah blah blah" and then for the rest of the piece you'd just use CIA.

So it's pretty obvious and we just ignore it anyone despite some egghead formalizing it over 100 years ago.

This video popped up in my recommendations. It's a piece of deep investigative journalism (at least by the standards of Youtube  ) on why McDonald's ice cream machines are seemingly always broken (and it turns out it's because the company that makes the machines profits from them being broken  ):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrDEtSlqJC4

Yeah unless the acronym is immediately obvious define it first. I read a lot about airplanes and sometimes I get mixed up between the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board [of the USA]) and the NTSC (National Transportation Safety Committee [of Indonesia]), before you even throw in that NTSC (National Television System Committee) is also the TV standard in North America

The interesting thing about the CEO chart is the omissions, those that get paid on something other than just a check. It's mostly a list of CEOs who are not gonna stay long.

pretty sure a lot of it is they don't remember what the initialism stands for any more either, they just remember what it represents. like if during a brain fart you couldn't remember "Federal Bureau of Investigation" wouldn't you still know what "FBI" means? "laser" and "scuba" are perfectly cromulent even if you don't quite remember what the acronyms are short for stringless has issued a correction as of 13:24 on Apr 25, 2021 |

I have definitely gotten so used to acronyms that I have trouble remembering what they represent. It happens when you want use the acronym among people who also know it. I would also do a double take on "chief executive officer of Samsung" or whatever, because CEO is the only form I see.

corn haver posted:contractors are the worst and they constantly invent their own acronyms for their projects to sound critically important. poo poo like "i was working on MGUPOA with the LIPSAD group and the blue and red teams put a joint hold on it before the PSAT because the AMIDS isn't in place yet." It's the same with lanyard/PMC who work for ngos and the UN etc. They double tap you with acronyms and social justice language
