Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

      Everyone knows how to Google today, this isn’t 1992 where the internet was new and we had to teach search engine usage in school.

      People ask questions in forums (online and otherwise) because they want answers from people who don’t need to Google it. They’re asking for a real interaction with a real human being who knows what they’re talking about and can be asked follow up questions.

      It’s hard to believe, but there are still people out there who just want the human interaction more than a clinical answer.
