SL Tip #3: love abbreviations

EVERYTHING HAS AN ABBREVIATION:
learn it, know it, love it.

- Silver Lining

abbreviations & acronyms galore ... we do environmental and energy consulting. EVERYTHING as an abbreviation. and if it doesn't, we'll figure out a way to come up with a clever acronym.

ask SL ... she knows real/actual acronyms & abbreviations, such as BACT, LNG, CPUC, NOx, etc. - all sorts of alphabet soup things!

if we didn't use acronyms & abbreviations, i swear our reports (and other written material) would have probably 10-15% more pages!

and then of course ... there is tl;dr.
(maybe that's why abbreviations are good?)

I started a list of acronyms encountered so far to help me keep track of their meanings. The new acronyms I learned yesterday were CEMS (Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems) and CMS (Continuous Monitoring Systems). They may sound the same, but are completely different.
