I hate all TLAs
Zuko?
lol
How about FLAs?
FLA itself is TLA.
What about TLA+?
Saving a few decieconds is the most upside they can possibly have.
Potential downsides: the reader has no comprehension, has to spend several full seconds or minutes asking the meaning, has to spend extra time mentally processing the text cos it's coded.
TLAs are stupid.
The approved industry term is Extended TLA using the initialism ETLA.
Wtf!
Just as much as AWFLs
