This is a collection of things that I find interesting.
Mainly, mainly it's a place for me to post into the void for my own trail of hyperlinks.

WO is already an acronym for "without", and thus AWOL builds from there. None of your other examples are compound words. Furthermore, by merit of your initial example here, Mountain Biking should've been MTNB all along. It's an unfortunate predicament to come off as condescending when one's argument partner is defending from an inferior position, I agree.
Mt is already an acronym for "mountain", and thus MTB builds from there.
You still haven't addressed my question. Why does it matter? What is the purpose of making character judgements (illiterate , lazy) about a group of people who didn't follow the conventions you expected when abbreviating their hobby? I don't actually need the answer to that question. But it might help you to find it for yourself.
"Mt." is not an acronym. Neither is "Mtn.", FYI. I hope you find the answers you so clearly need, friend.
