[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6314917, member: 2525"] From the document, "The Correct Use of Acronyms" "The first time you use an acronym in your document, the words should be written out with the short form placed in parentheses immediately after. This way, it's clear to the readers exactly what the letters mean. Here's an example: A New World Order (NWO) came into effect after 9/11." This sentence manages to violate the acronym rule not once, not twice, but three times. And it's not like Ruin Explorer is in such a hurry that he had to do it that way...the guy posts every day, multiple times a day, on multiple message boards at quite some length. He obviously has the time to do it right: "Just to be clear - [B]DotA[/B] is in no way, shape or form an [B]MMORPG[/B] (it's a [B]MOBA[/B]), despite using some concepts common to both. " [/QUOTE]
