At my current job, it’s not so much the corporate speak. We really f’n love our f’b acronyms. In fact, we have a Chrome extension that’s called something (which is an acronym) which exists to decode other acronyms. God forbid you accidentally hit a wrong key when typing an acronym, because I promise you — and saw this happen in real life in the past week — whatever different acronym you accidentally typed? It actually does exist and has some sort of definition or meaning which you did not intend to convey. And I’m not talking about WTF, I’m talking about “you typed LPS instead of LMS and now I’m totally confused because LPS actually does mean something entirely different.”
