This stuff in truth is very hard.

You have things like false alarms when acronyms start to overlap, like PA being "personal assistant" and "personal account".

And then stuff like Egol using "LDL" to take his conversations with his subordinate, Fabulous Fab off electronic form.

Fab ends up guilty of fraud, paying fines, and kicked out of industry to go work in academia.

Egol, who was his senior, and nearly a decade older so been through a few economic cycles.. stayed on with the firm 6 more years and then moved on up in the industry.
