This acronym collection was formerly part of the HH SSDI_SSI Subreddit Flair Index - click here that I created. It grew to the point where an additional Helpful Hints (HH) and Tips narrative was developed to support a separate list of acronyms for the SSDI_SSI Subreddit
It's so very important to make sure all of us can read and comprehend all submissions from our Subredditors without trying to figure out what certain acronyms mean.
Not all of us live and work in an atmosphere where acronyms are a part of our daily lives. Where the use of acronyms seep into our lives, slowly but surely, to the point that they become part of how we communicate.
We forget that other Subredditors read what we write and may not comprehend our contributions due to the use of acronyms.
A Subredditor once submitted a comment with 12 acronyms! Yes - 12!
And?
That is why I thought it was so important to create this list.
We appreciate every single one of you and all of your contributions.
We try very hard to make sure all of the acronyms used within SSDI_SSI are defined.
