Everyone should stop using acronyms

I've had it up to here with fucking acronyms. I can forgive it with really long phrases and titles, but there are so many two and three-word phrases that have acronyms. There are 17,576 possible three-letter combinations with the 26 letters available, which sounds like a lot, but there is so much overlap. Wikipedia's List of Acronyms has SEVEN things associated with the acronym ABA. And SEVENTEEN with the acronym ABC! Jesus Christ, how hard is it to just say what you mean? I work in the medical field and there are so many acronyms, it makes my head spin! How is someone supposed to memorize what all of these abbreviations mean?

And don't even get me started on the acronyms for two-word phrases. I get being lazy, I've done it before, but there is a line that's been crossed so many times. One time I saw someone that only referred to various TV shows by their acronyms. AT? RS? Well they were talking about Adventure Time and Regular Show, but I only figured that out with context clues. I stared at the abbreviations scratching my head for a while before figuring that out.

So yeah. I'm done using acronyms for phrases less than four words. Even if it's a well-established one like the CIA, I'm calling it the Central Intelligence Agency out of spite.
