> Are you aware that the first time you use an acronym you're supposed to define it?

Tell this all the people who use abbreviations and acronyms in source code.

Of course there is no place of "first time" use in code as one does not read code linearly.

So abbreviations and acronyms in code are bad. Very bad. Most of the time you can't even look up the stuff someone made just up to save a few key strokes (which is irrelevant as there is code suggestion even in command line editors these days).

Using abbreviations and acronyms in code makes it cryptic. Always.

(The only legitimate place to use abbreviations and acronyms is imho some highly domain specific sub-language where all the domain experts know all the abbreviations and acronyms, and only those domain experts works on this code part.)
