Acronymania
5Oct2007 Filed under: Customer Experience Author: DUST!NWhat is it with the human need to turn everything into an acronym? Really. I cut this out of a magazine I was flipping through last week about, of all things, CUSTOMER SERVICE.

About this blog
'Casual Fridays' is about what happens when work is less about appearances and more about the humanity within. How do we strip away office politics, corporate jargon and red tape? Wouldn't we rather clothe ourselves in creativity, ideas and productivity? It's an ideal at least worth chasing.

I think that, by using acronyms, some people think that they’re experts in a domain. Only the “chosen” ones can understand what they’re saying, because they’re saying only for the chosen ones. Yap… And then they wonder why, instead of 300 attenders to their event they had only 25. Because! Anyway, this is a common arrogance in more that one domain of activity: assuming that if they use acronyms they’re experts. Duah!
