Acronym's have been the bane of my life since I joined the IT department at
work where everything is referred to in Acronyms. I had to get to grips with
the PID, SOR, BRD, FRS, SDS etc. etc. etc.

The lowest point was when I sat through a whole hour of a meeting puzzling
over the chairman's first sentence: "And we will need a TLA for this
product!"

"TLA? TLA?" I thought. "Trans-Lunar Altitude? Terminal Language Application?
Tired, Listless and Apathetic?"

I eventually worked out that TLA meant "Three Letter Acronym"

TTFN (that's an FLA no doubt!)
