What's with all the TLAs here? Does it seem excessive to anyone else? |
|
Are there too many TLAs (three letter acronyms)?
"So JMM on TPM says BBV is DOA and even WP is printing LTTEs about it".
Would your average reader know what that sentence means?

But, unfortunately, I've signed the non-disclosure pact and if I told you they'd have to have me killed.
Sorry.

FWIW, IIRC acronyms are AOK. IMO.

7. I refer to that fairly often, but it might be a little out of date. |
|
I've just never seen this many acronyms on one page. But then maybe I should stay in the house more and spend more time on line.

10. Put the SP on the QT so you can get it PDQ |
|
If you PM doesn't show up, put out an APB or an SOS. PS: CC the VP, OK?
