AAC.

Acronyms are confusing.

But some people also say AC -acronyms confuse.

I thought of a byzantine WordPress site with editing history or something as well, for a moment, despite the context.

Wait, WP for Wikipedia isn't even an acronym, just an abbreviation!

If you read this far, sorry for wasting your time.

I'm still learning :high_five:

WP for "Wikipedia" is built into the site; most of the internal guidance pages can be accessed via titles such as "WP:WikiProject".

Thanks for the clarification. I wouldn't argue against abbreviations per se. Was just in the mood for a whimsy post.

And, in defense of WP, W would not be a better option really, except for URLs.

Ironically, my locale's WP edition has failed to or didn't want to adopt /w/ instead of /wiki/ as the leading path segment for Wikipedia articles, as opposed to the English edition.

Also, thinking about this makes me want to search for edit wars and discussion about US vs British spelling on Wikipedia.
