"Happy Fucking New Year" Honestly, I can't even type/write the dipshit’s name. But you get it.

Did you know?

It's only called an acronym when you pronounce the abbreviation as a real word (ex. NASA, UNESCO). Otherwise, it is known as an initialism (ex. FBI, BBC, or USA), where you say each letter out loud.

"The BBU for the RTC on the MB is a NiCd" and other perfectly sensible things computer geeks say that lead others to believe they have lost their minds.

A long-winded explanation of how we make #words shorter. Still on my #petpeeve kick and diving how #abbreviation , #initialism , and #acronym differ

In general I'm descriptivist but sometimes I'm also a #pedant

Ok, here's my first Bluesky gatekeeping skeet:

If your way of tw/skeeting is:
"Sector jargon, just sharing the facts like notating at a conference + asinine summary with an attempt @ humour & unnecessary punctuation #acronym #initialism"

Get a grip and be normal.
