I second Alex' invective. In Colorado the "C" acronyms became so
troublesome that I started (or revised a previous person's work!) a
dictionary of Colorado cultural acronyms we called "Alphabet Soup". I
ended up with over 3 HUNDRED of them, many actually used in conversation.
I still have it on my "do list" to place online.

But online the problem is far far far worse, especially when any
university is involved!

I run a comprehensive Dance Resource page which includes the most
comprehensive listing of online University Dance Dept Pages available
anywhere on the internet.  The project turned into a nightmare because as
many as 25-30% of these pages never identify what school the department is
housed in!!!! A page of courses without saying what the University is is
useless. The problem got compounded in that the e-mail address is in
acronym form and often the page titles when there is one also is in
acronym form. I'm sorry but "UC" could mean U of California, Chigago,
Cincinnati, Colorado, Calcutta........

So especially on The WORLD wide web, please make sure that every one of
your pages includes either your full name or aclear direct link back to a
homepage which makes your name and contact info very clear. Remember many
search engines index every one of your pages. You cannot assume that
people will hit the home page first. And, if they don't they might never
be able to get there.
