A bugbear of mine too in the UK.
Take the acronym 'ATM'
Does it mean:-
Air Transport Movement
or
Air Traffic Management
or
Aerodrome Traffic Monitor?

[Miscellaneous]

None of the above; for most it means Automated Teller Machine.

Normally the context if how the acronym is written in a sentence is the giveaway...

“We have had 32 ATMs today”
Or
“There is an ATM webinar next week”
Or
“I notice the aircraft on the ATM”

(Or, I got a tenner out of the ATM!)

And if you don’t like acronyms don’t watch LOD.

Mental note to self, don’t go for a beer or a curry with AlanM.

Cheapskate!

I have a tenner in me pocket from March. I haven’t used cash for such a long time - iPay all the way. (Inc buying a car!). Even ice cream vans here take digi payments. (Ruins my “got no cash on me” argument when with my daughter...)
