Acronym Overload

Anyone else notice we have two conversations 
going on (one about 10mm Brits and the other 
about photography) both of which are refering 
to SLRs?  Of course, I know the difference 
(having been trained on and worked with an FN-
C1) but I just find it interesting how mangled 
some poor folk can get with acronyms. 

And just so no one feels slighted - ANYONE on 
this list seems miles ahead of those in the rest 
of the Internet. We use a lot of short forms and 
most people manage (after a fashion). Try a 
quarter of them (and I'm not even talking ones 
like AVLB or APFSDSDU or MILNAVPAC) in the 
outside world, and you get a lot of ????????

We're a special breed. 

I'm just not sure if that's a good thing.... :)
