Even if it were invented yesterday, what would it matter?

[–] hitmyspot -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s not that it matters. It’s that if an acronym is new, it makes sense to clarify its meaning until it’s clear to all.

Fair, but the point of an acronym is to not have to write out the whole thing every time. It's ok to have people have to ask for clarification or look it up on their own. That's how people learn.
