Oh okay, thanks. I should have known that, but the author of the piece could have clarified that from the beginning. 🙂
Oh, I agree. The first time a writer uses an acronym in a story/report, they should spell it out then put the acronym in parenthesis.
confidential human source (CHS)
For example.
I am former Navy Cryptologic Technician, worked in the medical field in high school, and work in IT since the mid 90’s. I use abbreviations and acronyms all the time, but in anything written, I always spell it out the first time.
Thank you for using that word. I was struggling to think of that word, but it wasn't coming to me. I so hate those senior moments. 🤣
I started by thinking the word was mnemonic, and had to laugh when I saw the definition of that word; Relating to, assisting, or intended to assist the memory. Because I obviously was in serious need of that. 🤣
So, you just made my day. 🤣
Aging is so much fun. 😋
Yes, I agree, because sometimes the acronym can be many things, and sometimes many things may actually fit what surrounds the acronym. I can’t think of an example off the top of my head, but I have experienced it in the past.
People wonder why folks don’t go to the FBI with claims of corruption and such.
Has anyone ever tried to get in touch with the FBI? Well I did. To report drug trafficking across state lines. Back then there was actually a phone number in the phone book. Never could get through. Left several messages. Never got a call back.
20 years later or so the drug trafficking I was referring to was finally busted. McAllen Texas to Atlanta Ga. 20 damn years!
FBI, in my opinion, covered for these scumbags for all these years. And when the heat got too bad or the money dried up, they finally did something. Know a few more things about the FBI through some KKK contacts I used to know. But whatever.
Corrupt bastards. Anyone who doesn’t think FBI is political is kidding themselves.
mnemonic
That’s something like PEMDAS for math equations.
Or, for the 7 layer OSI model in networking, I made up this one:
Poor Dumb Nurses Treat Sick People Always
Physical, Data, Network, Transport, Session, Protocol, Application.
In music, FACE, or Every Good Boy Does Fine for the musical notes in a treble scale.
Millions of examples, of course :-)
That’s a good example.. 😋
You’re right. Heels would pick her VP. Imagine a fair election?
There will never be a “fair” election in the US again. We’re done for, even if we don’t know it yet.
Agreed. The AI robot dogs and immigrant SWAT teams will come to your home asking for your food and weapons. Drones overhead. What will you do?
