Not your fault, we don't make it easy. The acroynms are terrible! That's why I typically spell out the full term.

My first week at NVIDIA:

Me, to very senior engineer: something something UVM.

Very senior engineer: What's UVM?

Me: Unified Virtual Memory.

Very senior engineer: Don't call it that, call it Unified Memory, no abbreviation. TLAs are evil.

Me: What's TLA?

Very senior engineer: Three letter acronym.
