What the ****.




Google - feckin Love it.

No need for learning to ever end. And you don't learn if you're told every simple thing.

TLA's, 3 letter abreviation's, used after the first use has been written out in full so all reading will understand what is meant by said TLA.
Not to be used by pompous twats that try to think they are cleverer than all by using said TLA.
I used the phrase TLA with a tongue in cheek sarcasm.

A gunnery officer, in the Royal Navy (RN) used the TLA, CDF.
I politely asked him what CDF stood for, Common Dog **** was the reply,!!

'Acronym' surely?

What if it's a four letter acronym like NATO? Is that a FLA?
And if so, how do you distinguish between that and a five letter acronym?

TLA is a three letter acronym as i remember...i think TLAs are more common than others, hence TLA entered the vocabulary and the others didn't

plus it was a shitty in-joke that TLA is itself a TLA

hmmmmm

like GNU - "GNU is Not Unix"

hmmmmm

incidentally, the UK papers tend to write acronyms differently depending on how they are said...

so

"Unesco" and "Nasa" but "IRA" and "WHO"

and FFS...no apostrophes in acronym plurals, we're not American

Darth Vodka's number quiz....

1) name a number where the number of letters that spells it is the number (e.g. 10 = ten = 3 letters, so 10<>3, it's not ten)
2) name a number between a square number and a cubed number (between as in plus one and less one)
3) name a number (apart from 6) where all the numbers that divide into it (apart from itself) add up to itself....so 6 = 3 + 2 + 1

Managed to neck three pint of Guiness to celebrate Arthur's 250'th birthday in the company of some of our youngsters down the local ( including the gorgeous Emma and Donna who I am pleased to say were drinking Arthur's finest as well ).:icon_cool

Not Arthur's birthday. It's supposedly, the drink, Guinness's birthday. Even though it's not.
But who gives a bollocks, just get it down your neck.

No.

No.

Why not?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Why not?

Acronyms are pronounced as words. 'Scuba' is an acronym, for example, whereas GDL is an initialism but not an acronym.

But what sort of tosser would point that out?

The kind of tosser that only wishes to expand the minds of others and make the world a more grammatically standard place. You're top banana Blue

That may have been the original meaning, but these days it's acceptable to call something like GDL an acronym.
