What's an LMS? (I do understand that my asking this question almost certainly means I can't answer your question.)

I thought it was a Laboratory Management System (for tracking samples).

  I've usually see that as a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)

I don’t know why but it always gets on my nerves when people decide to address a multinational forum with people from every corner of the world and ask for their time and attention, but at the same time decide to save 2 seconds of their own time to avoid typing out “Learning Management System (LMS)”. We all are from different backgrounds and industries and same acronyms can mean different things. I worked in finance, for me LMS is Loan Management System.

  I have the same issue with numerous TLAs, most frequently around here: "NLP". My usual thought sequence is "'Neuro-Linguistic Programming'? Uhhh, no... it's not that, not in this space. 'Near Letter Perfect'? Hmmm... don't think so. 'New Lunar Passage'? Has Elon been smoking that stuff again?..." Eventually I figure it out, but for some weird reason my brain doesn't really want to hang a hook into "Non-Linear Processing" ;)

        No, that would be an ETLA - "extended three letter acronym".
