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.
- mikro2nd 5y agoI 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" ;)
- elcomet 5y agoYou just did the same with TLA ... Thanks to another commenter who explained it
- folli 5y agoTLA?
- bmakdbd 5y agoThree letter acronym
- edsonmedina 5y agoOh, not TLA+?
- radiowave 5y agoNo, that would be an ETLA - "extended three letter acronym".

- bmakdbd 5y agoErrr isn’t it natural language processing?
- mikro2nd 5y agoYes, yes it is. Aks my brain to pick that one first, though.... ehhhh.
