Uhh PMS?
Might want to consider other acronyms.
- benatkin 6y agoThere are plenty of three-letter acronyms that are used despite being overloaded with something worse.
- aftergibson 6y agoI never implied worse or bad. It’s just a commonly used acronym that’s distracting from the message.

- groby_b 6y agoYes. There are also plenty of people who are OK with being insensitive, or with offending half their userbase. And that's their choice. But at the same time, giving the author a heads-up that they might inadvertently sort themselves in that group is, I think, a kindness.
- bachmeier 6y agoIt's more along the lines of BOOGER or URINE than being insensitive or offensive. Some names are good and some are not. A name like that is not.
- groby_b 6y agoEye of the beholder, no? As a woman, my first reaction to something being named "PMS", I'd book it in the "insensitive" category. I know lots of other women will too. We've heard a few too many PMS remarks from men to not have a reaction. It's not just insensitive if it's insensitive to you.
- bachmeier 6y agoI stand corrected. I've never heard anyone consider it insensitive, but if so, the name is that much worse.

- edoceo 6y agoHow about PKB - Personal Knowledge Base
- aftergibson 6y agoYeah, an improvement I reckon.
- jhgb 6y agoYes, at the very least "project management software" and "property management software" are already commonly using that acronym. Someone else already mention the more appropriate "personal knowledge base".
- eyeball 6y agoDouble bad with the choice in clip art.
- mathgladiator 6y agoPartition Management Service....? I don't get it.
- tenebrisalietum 6y agoPersonal Life Manager.
- HenryBemis 6y agoLife Planner
- hk1337 6y agoPerpetual Motion Squad!
