Down With Acronyms!
I hate acronyms. English is littered with a mind-boggling and confusing collection of shortcuts. These seems to proliferate most in the medical field where people are labeled with an endless list of capital letters like this: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/appendixb.html
But it seems every group has its own personal set of acronyms. Writers, who one might imagine love to hear the flow of nice long, genuine words all spelled out are noted for a long list of abbreviations. You can read some of those here: http://clarissadraper.blogspot.com/2010/10/list-of-writers-acronyms.html
In my teaching career I found plenty of alphabet soup: http://www.educationoasis.com/resources/Professional_development/list_edu_acronyms.htm
Then there's the political world where nothing is sacred: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1997/10/taking-notice-of-potus/376985/
Can't we stop this? Can't we take a little more time and say Post Traumatic Stress Disorder instead of PTSD? Or Work In Progress instead of WIP?
Please stop the flood of acronyms!
