Acronym Dictionary?

Is there a list of acronyms used here? (Couldn't find one using search)

No, but if you want to know what something specific means, just ask.

For the most part we try to deal in plain english instead of acronyms, unless its a widely known term.

IMHO, acronyms are a PITA.

There are just too many TLA's in IT!

I prefer to use ETLAs.

Back in the 80's Digital Equipment Corp. went so far as to print an internal book of TLA's to provide to new hires so they might have a chance of knowing what their coworkers were talking about... :eek:

FedEx still does that - it's about 40 pages (front and back)

Conjunctions are just a poorman's TLA
