- SilasX 9y agoYour comment is kinda making the same point though. In any case, I think you could enforce the spirit of that idea with something like: 1) Don't use abbreviations or terms outside of common English unless it's in The Glossary. 2) If you want to use such a term, add it to the Glossary. 3) It's some group's job to review the Glossary for garbage.

- jamestimmins 9y agoI'm not sure how seriously it was ever taken. I also suspect that using an acronym for a major initiative is seen differently than adding them to the workflow.
