Sorry to bother you all with this mundane subject, but I must ask you to
refrain from using Too Many Cryptic Acronyms.
I can find easily the definition for technical acronyms, and even some
common ones like ASAP, BTW and IMHO, but it is very hard to find the
meaning of others -- most of them can't be found in dictionaries, and we
non-anglophones simply have no way of guessing what they mean... I spent 20
minutes on google just to find what is a PITA.
A few extra keystrokes don't hurt, but can do wonders for clarity and save
us a lot of time.
By the way, typing PITA instead of writing it out in full does not minorate
the impact of the expression.

...TYVM?

never
the exact thing but a compromise--that which is common to you, me, and
everybody.--T. E. Hulme
