- _lvbh 3y agoPublic service announcement. It’s very widely used
- efreak 3y agoI would blame this one on DDG, actually. PSA is an incredibly common acronym for public service announcement. Wherever DDG sources acronyms for might also be assuming people just know it. Try wiktionary or Wikipedia disambiguation pages for acronyms when they don't show up in search, I can often find them there.
- Repulsion9513 3y agoSorry, I meant Secure SHell. Oh wait, that wasn't the widely-known acronym you asked about.
- drekipus 3y agoWhat's HN?
- SoftTalker 3y agoSorry to see this downvoted, I think it's a common courtesy to spell out acronyms on first use, no matter how widely understood one believes them to be.
- lambdaxyzw 3y agoI think that's because most people consider this requires unjustified. Do you think similarly about expanding acronyms like SSH, CLI, HTTP, HN, FYI, USD, US, EU, PKI? Why/why not?
