Acronyms in Writing

In the world of texting, acronyms are used like a first language. When you need to end a texting conversation, you simply send TTYL, versus typing out ‘talk to you later.’ No one nowadays would dare say, ‘laugh out loud,’ while chatting with someone, it’s LOL. While using acronyms is convenient, it can also be confusing.
Couldn’t LOL stand for ‘lots of love’? How about MVP? In sports, it’s ‘most valuable player’ while in the business world it’s ‘minimum viable product.’
The medical field is full of acronyms: AMA (American Medical Association), BI (Brain Injury), NDA (New Drug Application), and RBC (Red Blood Cells), are just the few among thousands of acronyms used daily by nurses, doctors, and pharmacists.
In the music industry there are also acronyms in use. Electric Light Orchestra is known as ELO, while STP is the reference often used for Stone Temple Pilots. Perhaps the most well acronym band is Creedence Clearwater Revival, or CCR.
Even our government uses acronyms with FBI, CIA, POTUS, and so forth.
