Journalists should always clarify their TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) . Now I'm wondering, what does ESA (European Space Agency?) do in E3 conference? https://www.gamesindustry.biz/reedpop-and-esa-part-ways-over-e3

strongly held opinion on #acronyms and most #abbreviations: avoid

FUBAR and SNAFU are familiar to many of us, but how about JANFU, FUMTU, and WETSU?

The Radical #Reinvention of the #EnglishLanguage #Neologisms, #slang, #jargon, #acronyms and #loanwords are reshaping the language right before our eyes. https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/blogs/higher-ed-gamma/2023/04/20/radical-reinvention-english-language

Please, if you use an abbreviation or an Acronym, never asume everybody knows it’s meaning. Explain it if you can’t avoid using it. Thank you!

I just remembered when #NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe which featured an instrument called ISIS (Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun), but another ISIS (Islamic State) is keeping up with the news so NASA have to stylize theirs as "IS☉IS" but it really baffled me because they could have just made it into "ISIOS" since there's already some some unused letters there and they could even keep the sun symbol if they really wanted. Oh well.
