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.

My least favorite is IANAL (no pun intended), my favorite is RTFM, I use it a lot!

BofA is ugly but it's mainly a US thing, no one else uses it.

Spoiler tags work a little different here. Try this:

lots of people use bofa! bofa deez nuts!

Gotcha. The tags didn't render for me (I'm using Jerboa on Android)

They don't work on the Lemmy website, I guess your app is doing non-standard stuff

That's not official though

I can only read it as "I Anal" and the teenage boy in me giggles and I forget what I am reading.
