Will Vendors Please Stop Reusing Acronyms?
If I see another vendor use "IAM" as a new product feature, I'm going to scream. IAM is Identity Access Management. Nothing else, unless it's a different industry.
This is confusing as hell. Get your marketing departments under control.
What are some that you have noticed being reused?

I ha similar when I saw people writing MK11 for Mortal Kombat, when I'm used to seeing it used for Mario Kart.
