I don’t know why but it always gets on my nerves when people decide to address a multinational forum with people from every corner of the world and ask for their time and attention, but at the same time decide to save 2 seconds of their own time to avoid typing out “Learning Management System (LMS)”.

We all are from different backgrounds and industries and same acronyms can mean different things.

I worked in finance, for me LMS is Loan Management System.

I have the same issue with numerous TLAs, most frequently around here: "NLP".

My usual thought sequence is "'Neuro-Linguistic Programming'? Uhhh, no... it's not that, not in this space. 'Near Letter Perfect'? Hmmm... don't think so. 'New Lunar Passage'? Has Elon been smoking that stuff again?..."

Eventually I figure it out, but for some weird reason my brain doesn't really want to hang a hook into "Non-Linear Processing"

;)

Errr isn’t it natural language processing?

[marginalia_nu]

It's also a branch of pickup artist pseudoscience.

[mikro2nd]

Yes, yes it is.

Aks my brain to pick that one first, though.... ehhhh.

You just did the same with TLA ... Thanks to another commenter who explained it

[folli]

TLA?

[bmakdbd]

Three letter acronym

[edsonmedina]

Oh, not TLA+?

[radiowave]

No, that would be an ETLA - "extended three letter acronym".
