No you’re not alone.

Abbreviations and acronyms are meant to be defined within textual material unless they are effectively names that are more well known as the acronym like NASA or IBM.

I actually prefer what you might call a reverse definition such as SQL (Structured Query Language), rather than what is taught as the proper way, e.g., random access memory (RAM).

There are so very many overlaps like QA - is that Quality Assurance or Quantitative Analyst. It is especially bad when they are used in submission titles because this is such a general news site.
