I love a couple of inexplicable acronyms in the morning. EDIT - mods - any chance of a title edit? Search engines would appreciate that as much as humans.

I love a couple of inexplicable acronyms in the morning.
EDIT - mods - any chance of a title edit? Search engines would appreciate that as much as humans.
- matt4077 9y agoSpeaking of search engines: why don't you just look up acronyms you don't know? The one-time inconvenience would seem to be much better than denying everyone the benefit of using acronyms (as demonstrated by their use). And what's the standard for acceptable acronyms? Is it "GA" or "GCE" you don't know? What about GPU, CPU, FLOP, CIA? And why only acronyms? Surely, some people will have to figure out what "Skylake" is, as well. And considering nobody is born speaking English, should the title include some sort of explanation of "now" that starts from first principle?
- andybak 9y agoIt's about good writing and judging your audience. You can safely bet anyone here will know what CPU stands for. But this title is just badly written and lazy. I actually managed to figure it out after a couple of seconds of staring but the point is - I shouldn't have to.
