Too many abbreviations.

AAA. NASA. AKA. UN. SOCHUM. DoD. FLSA. DPRK. MADD. ICC. ACLU. P.S. DRC. CWA. RADS. SC. MVHS. The list goes on... and on... and on... and on... and on....

It's so stupid to call a company, country, organization, or whatever else by the first letters of its name rather than by its name. I mean, it's gotten to the point where we are recognizing each of those things by the letters that represent it rather than what its name is and what it stands for. And you want to know why we cut those names down? It's so we can cut out a few more seconds of writing. Isn't that ridiculous? Why do we come up with huge names if we're just going to cut them down anyways? Come on. Their named with a reason, and its their name that distinguishes them... not their abbreviations.
