What's with all the TLAs here? Does it seem excessive to anyone else?

[judge_smales]

Are there too many TLAs (three letter acronyms)?

"So JMM on TPM says BBV is DOA and even WP is printing LTTEs about it".

Would your average reader know what that sentence means?

1. I would...

But, unfortunately, I've signed the non-disclosure pact and if I told you they'd have to have me killed.

Sorry.

2. LOL

FWIW, IIRC acronyms are AOK. IMO.

"So JMM on TPM says BLACK BOX VOTING is DEAD ON ARRIVAL and even (the) WASHINGTON POST is printing LETTERS TO THE EDITOR about it".

6. Here's the DU Glossary:

Although I didn't see LTTE in it. :shrug:

7. I refer to that fairly often, but it might be a little out of date.

I've just never seen this many acronyms on one page. But then maybe I should stay in the house more and spend more time on line.

10. Put the SP on the QT so you can get it PDQ

If you PM doesn't show up, put out an APB or an SOS.
PS: CC the VP, OK?

12. AOK! TLAs are SOP!

NT!
