Computer scientists, computer marketing professionals, and other geeks are fond of coming up with acronyms for products/technologies. Some of the acronyms used are clever, some are boring. And some are truly horrible - either being difficult to pronounce, utterly contrived, or both.
- Nothing in computer science beats HSTJWSTTP (Hubble Space Telescope - James Webb Space Telescope Transition Plan)
- WWW. Takes three times as long to pronounce as what it stands for. Any acronym containing a W ought to be pronounceable as a word.
- ASCII - Sounds like a protologist security tool
