Short Term Debt or Sexually Transmitted Disease?
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient or Application Programming Interface?
Sexually Frustrated Individual or Students Federation of India?
Internet Protocol number or In-Patient number?
The acronyms remain the same for above - STD, API, SFI, IP.
In this era of acronyms, specialised subject also becomes important. The more acronyms you use, the more you need to stay within a domain.
You cannot talk of STD and expect a person to understand exactly what you mean. Nor can an IT (Information Technology or Income Tax?) guy be expected to understand your API in pharma context. A politician will think of students and a doctor will think of patient numbers.
And in the company of any of the opposing group, the minority will be at a disadvantage.
Being in context is the new constraint and acronyms are the new code words to supercede that constraint.
