Wow, you have a lot of work to do notifying people about this issue; first your bank (IRA) or the Irish Republican Army, then the US government or your dentist (ADA - American's with Disabilities Act, American Dental Association), then retail outlets or people who are sh*tty (POS - Point of Sale, or Piece of Sh*t), I guess you are ok on CD, no need to let the banks know as the music industry doesn't use them anymore (Certificate of Deposit or Compact Disk), then back to the bank and your telco (ATM - Automated Teller Machine and Asynchronous Transfer Mode). Going to be tough getting all this straightened out, good luck!
The solution is obvious. We need acronymspaces, a system that allows acronyms to be unique. Each acronym will consist of the prefix**, the acronym***, the context****, the industry***** and the language******.
For general industry terms context 0 is used. Industry context 0 can be dropped.
For any industry (which is more broadly a general area of discussion) the matching context identifier will be used to for MAs******* (meta-acronyms) used for discussions of industry acronyms.
Every acronym will have a numeric prefix, starting at 0. Prefixes provide a way to distinguish between duplicate acronyms within the same context. Prefix 0 can be dropped, since it will apply to the first established acryonym.
Once the prefix context, industry and language are established in a discussion these parts can be dropped. The popular hashtag system can be used to establish context or the full acronym, including prefix.
The system will be managed by GCAA********. GCAA will not manage pronunciations, because the dynamism of language would make managing the pronunciation too difficult.
This system would provide complete clarity, making arguments about use of acronyms redundant. We would know that MCU.TMC.T.en and MCU..T.en are completely different things. Anyone arguing about meaning of acronyms would obviously be an 1.AH.us.L.en who can be ignored.
* P.A.A.en ********
** A.A.A.en
*** C.A.A.en
**** I.A.A.en
***** L.A.A.en
****** A is the reserved industry identifier for Acronyms.
******* Or 0.MA.A.A.en.
******** Global Corporation for Assigned Acronyms. Full name 0.GCAA.A.A.en
