A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.

Goodness - how many acronyms could my brain possibly retain? What's worse is that these days we read things only and see acronyms everywhere. Most of us have learned a technique over the years to interpret them. Don't know what it means? You make it up... and then sometimes you realize you're FAR off...

Another thing that happens with acronyms - you get used to a letter combination meaning something... only to move onto a different topic and have it mean something else. Here's an example i have a hard time with...

DS --> to most, this means "dear son"
Enter the world of fertility issues - and that means Donor Sperm.

HUGE DIFFERENCE.

(enough ranting about nothing)
