One thing that has bugged me for years and years is the way in which we teach our folks in the Army how to write. For some reason way beyond my understanding, many believe that they HAVE TO create an acronym for anything they are too lazy to write out in full. It's crazy!
To make matters worse, acronyms change as popular military terminology changes, and unless you are directly involved in the subject area being discussed, you may have absolutely no idea what the author is trying to say. This is especially bad for people inside the Army's Training and Doctrine Command. Just look at a typical piece written by anyone in the Engineer School for example, and you will probably be able to count as many acronyms as you can sentences.
Maybe it's phone text messaging that's making this situation worse today, but whatever the reason, I say "let's stop overusing acronyms" (LSOA)!
