Good one, very informative, especially like you said for those who are either new to DT or bad at puzzles/problem solving. lol.

But, for what it's worth, they aren't acronyms they are initialisms. Acronyms form a word, like PADI, SWAT, NATO, PETA, etc.

Good job on the list.

It would be also very useful to post the acronyms used in boards such as IMO, IMHO, ROFL, etc.
