I need to confess something: as a non-English speaker, most of the time I'm embarrassed to ask what that 'X' or 'Y' acronym means.
To give an example, NLP.
Is it * Neuro-Linguistic Programming? * Natural Language Processing? * Network Layer Protocol? * Natural Language Paradigm?
...and so on.
9 out of 10 times, I have to patiently look for the comments and pray to find an answer somewhere in thread(s) to save myself from embarrassingly asking.
Now I have decided to take the risk to do so, as I have accumulated countless of acronyms, thanks to Web Development, and not only lol!
Are we getting lazier than ever to type a whole word, let alone a normal sentence, or is it my idea?
Can you English-speaking people help us understand your language better?
Thank you very much and please accept my apologies in advance if I have offended anyone.
