Is there a glossary of all the acronyms used in posts on this site? I am figuring out several in context (DW for example), but some are a mystery (OMY). Thanks
Those are technically not acronyms. Acronyms are when the initials are pronounced as a word (i.e. NASA, SCUBA)
Merriam Webster disagrees.

Keep reading."The word acronym typically applies when the resulting thing can be read as a word"
also : an abbreviation (such as FBI) formed from initial letters : INITIALISM

The Chicago Manual of Style and the Gregg Manual disagree with merriam-webster.com. Honestly, merriam-webster has gone downhill since they went .com
I never heard of either reference.
I worked 35 years at IBM, which couldn't exist without the TLA (Three Letter Acronym).
