Deciphering Acroynyms
I wrote about the trouble I have with Acronyms yesterday at Slaw. Today’s Tip: Use an Acronym Dictionary!
I have a nice little book on my reference shelves called Acrobuster. It is a dictionary of Canadian English acronyms, initialisms and abbreviations. It is available in these libraries. There are other print sources, but I like this one because it is Canadian.
There are also online Abbreviation or Acronym Dictionaries:
Abbreviations.com
Internet Slang Dictionary & Translator
Acronyms and Abbreviations from Businessballs.com
Acronyms search tab at The Free Dictionary
