As the others have said, there are lots of different acronyms in lots of different realms of life. An account might have a different understanding of some acronym then a farmer. A Monk might see SOPW and know it's Seekers of Perl Wisdom whereas the man on the street might think Soft Old Pillow of Wool (ok, that's fake, but anyway).

Do people really use common everyday acronyms often on this site? Not really. Most of the acronyms used by people in the Monk community relate to locations on the site or general internet slang. That is, IMHO.

In essence, setting up a tag like this takes more time then someone would want to spend setting up, especially considering the return on his invested coding would be very little.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
