Use of acronyms
A F Rahman On e-mail
It's true what Minu Afza has expressed (DS May 19) that without elaboration an acronym, if published for public consumption, is not right, as per convention and for everyone's clear understanding. It must be deciphered once, then its subsequent abbreviation if and when used becomes appropriate and can be well understood, and that is what is done everywhere and usually in capital letters. But what I have been observing for sometime that you have been trying to introduce the acronyms in small letters (e.g. Bac instead of BAC) which is not at all appropriate and in my opinion it's a bit odd in sight. Let's go back to the acceptable and appropriate conventions, please.
