RE: Acronyms in documentation? - HUMOR

[Mailing List <mlist -at- ca -dot- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

That was part of the title of a coupla-hundred-page document at 
Ericsson, some years ago. Even four- and five-letter acronyms 
were called TLAs, and nobody but the most pedantic objected. . .

Martinek, Carla M sez:
 
> Several years ago, a large company I'm familiar with used to publish a
> glossary of terms and acronyms associated with their products.  It's a
> running joke within the company on how many acronyms are 
> officially used for
> products, department/divisions names, etc.
> 
> Several years ago, there used to be an entry in this book, probably
> overlooked by 99.9% of the people who read it.
> 
>       TLA -- Three Letter Acronym
> 
> Yes, the techwriters on this book had a sense of humor. :-)
