As opposed to the United States dollar that became public after 2013?
I mean, seriously: OpenUSD sounds like a cryptocurrency "stablecoin" token name.

- khazhoux 3y agoLiterally no one who uses USD as part of their work gets tripped up by this. It’s ok for jargon and acronyms to be confusing to people who are not at all in the field.

- khazhoux 3y agoI'll reply to your comment, but first I need to look into this dump I just took.
- whycome 3y agoAny old BOB or RON can use USD as part of their work. I sometimes work with Autodesk and I, personally, prefer CAD. Don't let this RUB you the wrong way. Don't get MAD. Don't call a COP. Don't declare an SOS. For those that use PHP, consider SVC or plain old PEN. https://www.xe.com/iso4217.php https://www.xe.com/iso4217.php
- uglycoyote 3y agoI'm in the field but don't actually use USD so when I heard some colleagues talking about it I googled to try to figure out what they were talking about... but was unable to find anything that wasn't talking about currency. Even if I Google something like "USD format converter"I tend to get a bunch of currency converters. it is kind of a pain in the ass.
- Phrodo_00 3y agoI use USD as part of my work... in fintec, so this confuses the heck out of my brain
- alanpearce 3y ago> It’s ok for jargon and acronyms to be confusing to people who are not at all in the field. On the site itself, sure. Here, where not everyone "uses USD as part of their work", spelling it out in the title would have avoided this whole stub
- waffletower 3y agoIts simply not ok -- pure consonant acronyms obfuscate and conflate meaning and dilute inter-communication. They are a relic of the pre-internet. It would be better to either eliminate usage, or move to richer abbreviation practices which include vowels (like 'SemVer' for 'Semantic Versioning')
