        I think the most cursed part of this is the fact that the webcomic is "Coded with love in CSS"

          I've actually been using the term Too Many Acronyms (TMA for short) for years now. When I get see meeting invites that look like this, I say that I'm suffering from TMA.

                        Acronyms being "shorter and less scary" couldn't be more wrong

                          I learned this one in coolsig.com (which I was recently surprised to learn still exists and looks basically as I remember it!). At the time, I looked up the actual meaning, but the one in this thread is the one I still remember.

                              I still use PCMCIAs at my job. Had to order a reader. It has been... challenging (particularly getting permissions to connect it to the system, but even finding them is not super easy).

                                  An acronym is an abbreviation formed using the initial letters of a multi-word name or phrase.

                                  This is what Wikipedia says to that. mic bounces back up straight into your face

                                    I too am suffering from TMA, but it's related to archives instead of acronyms

                                          You can check multiple dictionaries (Oxford, Merriam Webster) and they will agree with me.
