Discussion Ask Hacker News(HN): Am I the only one that gets lost with acronyms? I am rising this to see what is the general feeling about the arbitrary usage of acronyms across technical articles and documentation.I've found this paragraph in the Google developer documentation style guide:https://developers.google.com/style/abbreviations#spelling-outDon't you feel this is not used at all? Am I the only one loosing a lot of time looking for the correct acronym meaning? Is there any resource collecting all or most of this technical acronyms like a technical dictionary or something?Thanks! 5 points sptth 4 years ago 5 comments
