my point is that people should use acronyms instead of those abbreviations. e.g., “CS” instead of “comp sci”. i hate those abbreviations. and you’re right that the “poli” does cause confusion. it always takes me a second to figure out what people mean when they say it. i think we’re on the same side here.

Since we're down the pedantry rabbit hole, "CS" is an initialism, not an acronym.

i can’t believe that i didn’t even know the difference until now. i hope i don’t lose my pedant card because of this
