TLA: Three Letter Acronym ETLA: Extended Three Letter Acronym TETLA: Twice-Extended Three Letter Acronym or DETLA (double-...) SA: Short Acronym I could have replied in the same way to a post a couple of ones down from the one I chose, but I didn't want to call a mod (moderator) an amateur. Not on my second post here, anyway. Here's a TETLA that entered English as a regular word (from the military): snafu (Situation Normal -- All F***ed Up). It usually means a problem or mistake now. I suppose FUBR/FUBAR probably comes from the military as well. It is as likely to mean "... beyond (all) repair" as it is to mean "... recognition" and often is written as "foo bar" to hide where it came from. What does it say about me that I can only contribute with useless or obscene acronyms? Yeesh! |

My favourite acronym is GTK, because it is stacked with a recursive at the end.
GTK GIMP Tool Kit GNU Image Manipulation Programme Gnu Not Unix There's probably even another acronym that makes use of GTK. |

It's kind of like the Holy Roman Empire, which wasn't holy, nor Roman, nor an empire (it was a secular German confederacy), but other than that they got the name right. No wonder history was confusing. |

Take a look here: Many speak at a native level, but many do not. The ability to communicate with people who speak a limited amount of English is actually a skill that can be developed over time with practice

Anyone who has any language skill can get their point across in a non-native language. Some people I can understand just fine who have heavy accents and barely speak English, because they at least know how to compose a Latin sentence, but some people just spout random nouns and verbs in no particular order and expect people to understand them. Reading bad English is a different story. It should NOT be tolerated here.
