It is an unfortunate fact of IT life that acronyms are here to stay. They represent real pain to the uninitiated.

When faced with acronyms we suggest a challenge. When someone uses an acronym that you do not understand we suggest you say, “I’m sorry what does stand for”. And then if you feel really brave ask, “..oh right... and what does that mean”. And then if you are really, really brave ask, “..oh right...what does that mean to a human being like me for example”.
For brief descriptions of many acronyms you can go to our Web site.
We believe the majority are covered but please don’t ask us the second and third questions. Complain about the missing ones and expect a prompt reply.
