Acronyms w/o definition are a large pain

[rm.w/aview]

Long boring drives turn the license plates in front of me into acronyms to figure out.

I spice that one up a little by turning them into personal ad acronyms -

just write the letters of the error as one sequence and it should become clearer.  It came from a list of 'I overheard this from a help desk phone call' type of article

"Have you tried turning it off...?"

One of my favs, is APOTSIP 'all part of the service I provide.' as kind of a snarky retort when I do something amazing or dumb without intending to..
