So yeah,I don't like acronyms when it looks like a jumble of words that's basically jargon,I feel like there should be an accepted length for an acronym before it ceases to be an acronym

So,how many words should an acronym actually be?

I disagree with OP. I do not see anything wrong with long acronyms. It is jargon, yes, but all acronyms are.

[up] Is it ok to ask about the original forum section it was in and if so, why was it moved?

I mean when you bring up two or more identical or very similar acronyms that mean different things in the same text. Confusion will occur.

[up] It was in OTC. Considering the topic same acronyms is not about lenght.

It was moved because it fits YF better.
