    Would it kill them to write the whole name? They’re not that long.

    I’m a big fan of not shortening anything unless you’re going to use it extremely frequently in a body of writing, and even then, you had better type it out at least once.

    I feel like acronyms should never be assumed and always defined, shits annoying.

      Depends. Some tools have annoying names, and if they’re on mobile, autocorrect can be an asshole. You wouldn’t want to type out GNU Image Manipulation Project all the time, so you’d just say GIMP.
