You can argue till you're blue in the face, it's an established shorthand by now. And shorthand has a point - I don't see you writing "random access memory" instead of RAM either.
- yellowapple 9y agoOnce upon a time, RAM was called "core". We should go back to that. I digress... I'll concede it's easier to write on a whiteboard, but for other situations, it seems rather silly (and very different from the concept of an acronym or initialism).
