lol, isn't the world of acronyms grand, I have to deal with this all the time 
in the book I am writing, "lets see, I could call that group the Multi-racial 
urban force,  oops! nononono, that would shorten to muf!"; "lets see, defensive 
urban force, no that would be duf, patrol urban force?, no, puf" so on and so 
forth.

  LOL I think everyone can relate to that one... Why on earth did they name 
java and javascript so similarly when they have no relation?
  And while I don't know if someone is using pcp as a computer science term, 
I'm sure there is a tech acronym somewhere to match it.

  My favorite acronym was the internal name of an old C compiler developed 
where I worked during the late 80s.  It had a then new component that let a 
person port it to new architectures by completing a code generation template 
spec that they called a stin file.  My supervisor dubbed the compiler "stin cc" 
or "stincc", and it stuck -- until it was released of course.  When he left and 
took another position, someone gave him a stuffed skunk as a gag gift.
  Happy hacking.

    Ya, allot of termonology that makes no sense until you are as Hendrix once 
coined "Experienced". I remember when first starting out trying to figure out 
tcip from html and css from everything. Classes libraries and subs, functions 
scope, creation and destruction, note the later usually reserved for some 
Deity.Ya, session State Properties strong and week typing early and late 
everything java java script IML, CLR, PHP, PCP , not sure about that one, and 
so many other nonsense combinations of letters and numbers and words that just 
made no sense when read in a sentence. Ya, the good days before I knew what I 
didn't know.
    Now I know what I didn't know and wish I didn't know what I know sometimes.
    And, Microsoft does it better and can sell us new products with new words 
every year or two.
