It's Guardian house style to spell all acronyms (which sound out a word) with only an initial capital, but keep all-caps for initialisms (where you sound out each letter). So NASA becomes Nasa, but CNN stays CNN. www.theguardian.com/guardian-sty...

Anyone who whines about "DEI" (much like "CRT" and "SJW" before it), is outing themselves as a bigot who is not worth your time.
The catchphrases and acronyms might change every few years, but the bigotry behind them is always the same.

Stop with the fucking acronyms. "KPD"? "RTF"? "TTLDA"?
What the?
Okay, new rule: When you are too lazy to actually write a sentence, you get blockend.
Fuckin' hell. Super annoying!

the very recent trend of pathologising every aspect of one's personality into a matrix of microlabels and acronyms is part of the specifically american version of bourgeois liberalism that sees every niche as a commercial opportunity, and promotes the creation of new niches as new markets.

... I think I just leveled up as a sciences person, because I just realized that what I've been calling my dialect in my head, Written Online English, acronyms to WOE. and are you really a scientist if you don't invent at least one funny name or acronym?

There are always a few cartoons (3-5) in any collection that don't translate for cultural or language reasons. My guess is the acronyms wouldn't work in Spanish.

🤔 💭"SuperCryptic".
I could coin contractions to combat Ambiguous Acronyms.
Or: "Use your Words and Punctuation, or I'll kneedrop you."

Because that’s not how acronyms work.
Having been in a field where there are TONS of acronyms, this argument is the one that irritates me the most. OMS is my favorite example. The O is pronounced like it is in “oh,” not “or”. But the acronym is “Orbital Maneuvering System”

I choose to bite my tongue whenever Kettle and Saka use grindset verbiage because if they’re shamed out of it they’ll probably start using those inscrutable military acronyms for the same purpose
Seattle Councilmember Bob Kettle just invoked "a Six Sigma thought in the back of my head"
we HAVE to stop the cult of "leadership principles" among elected officials. everyone does not need a "growth mindset" or whatever the latest management jargon is

I understand people who are wary of having their posts searched on and mobbed by people with an axe to grind, but it does mean that the acronyms and censored words and euphemisms turn my everyday scroll into a decryption puzzle

I feel scared for Jamaica & the Caribbean. The US used to support such aid efforts, but I’m sure they won’t now, since Republicans won’t even extend food stamp benefits (the SNAP program) to Americans.
*Also, please spell out acronyms. Most people don’t even know what “SNAP” even is.

Thanks so much! Btw the acronyms are OSHA speak: Management Of Change (MOC) Engineer and Process & Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) Coordinator. I manage the process when our client wants to modify their facility in some way and generate/keep track of design documentation.
