@MaxEntropy The use of acronyms without defining them at first mention is the opposite of inclusivity. For newcomers to a forum such as ours or for people who are not in the “inner circle,” for non-native speakers, for folks who aren’t savvy about the more widely used acronyms (eg, WTF), the widespread use of acronyms can pose barriers to participation. As a medical writer, this is a cardinal rule I follow on a near-daily basis.
