Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

    Come on now. We know this is only because people usually don’t know the difference, not because it’s correct. Acronyms are pronounced as words, initialisms are spoken one letter at a time. Every article I’ve clicked says the same thing, confirming what I said. I’m doubling down. 😁

      Eh, I know I’m supposed to fight my way up this hill and take it, but I’m just so damn tired. You’re most correct. I acquiesce and stand in awe of your wisdom and grace.

        😄 Okay that’s too generous lol. I know of certain things, but I know I’m dumb as shit about other stuff. ❤️

          It’s a klobasnek, not a kolach. No man, kolache is plural, but that’s still a klobasnek
