Can we please do something about acronyms? I cannot participate in a lot of conversations because key parts of the topic are acronyms and I'm sure I am not the only one. Maybe compile a list of the more common acronyms and send it to everyone? Or you must spell out an acronym the first time it is used in a thread? Thanks!

@gifted-painting-25764 do you think this process will help?

Lol! This is great. I made up EF instead of typing it up, I was actually surprised it wasn’t a thing already. Looks like it’s sticking lol

Does this space have access to custom bots? You can easily program a bot to display the full name when an acronym is used in a message in a group chat

@gifted-painting-25764 but also let’s have this be a space that you can feel comfortable asking what we are talking about!

I feel like it’s too much. I think with any community there are learning curves and picking up on the acronym’s is par for the course

problem with changing it to a question is that bots dont work in private channels, so the person would have to ask it in the public forum for it to work.....

😞 so sounds like lookup table might be the best idea
