What does acronym, abbreviation, and initials mean?

How many times have we read an article or report in which some acronym, initials, initials, abbreviations, etc., are used, without being defined? They take it for granted that we know, and if we don't, we are fools...

Well, here is the solution so as not to look foolish. As it often happens to me, I found it by chance browsing the internet in search of something else. I tried it with EQA and in an instant it told me what the European Quality Award means, the EFQM award, which the website will tell you what the European Foundation for Quality Management means.

Acronym for Senatus Populusque Romanus (Also today acronym for Syndicat de la Presse Quotidienne Régionale, France, and for Software Product Quality Reporter)

You can search and filter terms in the categories of information technology, science and medicine, defense and government, organizations and educational institutions, business and finance, colloquial language and popular culture (including sports), etc.

Americans and Canadians can also identify 850,000 postal codes in their countries. What you will not find is the meaning of the initials of your name and surnames. You are supposed to know them.

It has been cited twice in PC Magazine's Top 100. And several other mentions, such as by Writer's Digest in their list of the best websites for writers. On January 13, 2007, an article was dedicated to him on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. The headline: BTW, if You Need Info About C4ISR, Read This ASAP. Does it ring a bell?

The site launched with 43,000 entries and doubled in size in two years. And it's still growing at a rate of 200 new entries a day, according to founder Mike Molloy. Anyone can contribute and if you send more than 50 definitions you are mentioned in the list of collaborators.
