Then how come your URL has two acronyms in only seven characters /s

No, I know what you mean. There's a balance between using the right lingo to communicate clearly with subject matter experts (SMEs if you will) and communicating clearly with those who only have a passing interest. A buddy of mine from college had a 2JZ FC RX7, but he could have also just said it was a japanese sportscar with an engine swap. Depends on the target audience. I guess on the internet, you're often talking with both kinds of people which makes it tricky.
