It's a PC world for us all then

While we discuss, perhaps for the next couple of years, the subject of acronyms and initialisations, it is best that we get our definitions right.
At least, that is what Richard McLean at Highlands and Islands Enterprise thinks. ‘None of the examples ICT, CBT etc are three-letter abbreviations – although, ‘etc’ is. They are a form of three-letter acronyms, more accurately known as an ‘initialism’. I know, I am a PWL (person without life)’.
We hope none of you are making the same mistake, that would be awful. Meanwhile, we briefly leave the subject of four- and five-letter, um, initialisms, for Stuart Wight to recall a visit to a police station.
‘When I was shown around by a police sergeant I noticed a complete absence of computers in the main admin area. When I mentioned the lack of PCs the sergeant promptly replied: “they’re all showing visitors around at the moment”.’
