Comment on Acronym Fatigue Series Introduction: why I'm wary of acronymsparent

Comments

Honestly? I looked it up on the glossary page of the company wiki and didn't feel much of anything about having to learn it.

At the time I didn't know what "Global Biodiversity Information Facility" referred to either, or why it was relevant to my team. Even without the acronym, I still would have had to go look it up or ask about it if someone used it with the expectation I was already familiar with it. I don't think the acronym had any significant effect on my experience of learning the concept.
