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

Comments

I think context and audience matter a lot.

I believe people who use a lot of (unexpanded) abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms, are lazy in their thinking about context and audience anyway.

The audience can be an assumption, especially in posterity. The context of where the message/document is read, isn't set in stone either.
