I propose that the world stops using acronyms.  They obviously cause more trouble than they're worth.  You can't use acronyms without explaining what they mean.  And if you always explain what they mean, there's no point in using them.  Plus, if you misuse acronyms, you shouldn't be allowed to use them.  I hear this junk all the time.  "We need new NSN numbers."  "Let's finish up that TDP package."  Sometimes I think my co-workers are intentionally misusing acronyms.  "Can you get a new PAN number?"  I don't even know what PAN stands for.  But I have a feeling the N stands for number. #language
