i completely agree with that sentiment. even if the audience is familiar, acronyms and abbreviations put a cost on the listener/reader to "unzip" them. in code, in meetings, in communication generally, the priority should be on comprehensibility to the reader/listener, not the convenience of the writer/speaker. we read code at least 10x more than we write it. in a meeting, one person speaks and many people listen.
