Comments on: Acronym of the Day https://lithoguru.com/life/?p=190 Musings of a Gentleman Scientist Mon, 30 Nov -001 00:00:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.5 By: David https://lithoguru.com/life/?p=190#comment-13580 Mon, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-13580 I feel that, regardless of the audience, if you are going to use acronyms you have to tell what it is at least once to define it. I don’t care if it’s SEM, which even a lay person might know, you have to define it.

Instead, most people who do this prefer to make everyone else feel silly the whole time, trying to decode what they are saying, and writing down acronyms for later googling. I know that some people do it unintentionally, but it really does get out of hand.
