Acronyms: How they work

3/13
Recursos

Particularmente en tecnología, utilizamos muchas abreviaciones de conjuntos de palabras, ya sea como acrónimos o inicialismos, para referirnos a términos con nombres largos.

Acrónimos vs. inicialismos

En los acrónimos, se utiliza la/s primera/s letra/s de cada palabra para crear una nueva palabra, por ejemplo: Latam = Latin America.

En los inicialismos, la abreviación se pronuncia letra por letra de forma separada. Por ejemplo: UN = United Nations.

Consejo: Sabemos que cuando una palabra en inglés comienza con consonante se utiliza el artículo “A”, mientras que si comienza con vocal se utiliza “An”. En los acrónimos, tienes que tener en cuenta la pronunciación del mismo y no la letra con la que comienza la palabra. Por ejemplo: A URL, An HTML.

3. Acronyms: How They Work

Abbreviation: a short form of a word, etc. E.g. Acronyms or initialisms.

**Acronym: **a word formed from the first letters of the words that make up the name of something. E.g. LATAM: Latin America.

UTF: It´s an initialism. Unicode Transformation Format.
ANSI: /ˈænsi/. American National Standards Institute.
GIF: /ɡɪf/ or /dʒɪf/ Graphic Interchange Format. It´s better to pronounce it /ɡɪf/ to avoid confusion when pronouncing JIFF /dʒɪf/.

When I started, some developers on my team expected me to know about CRUD. At that time that acronym was not used in my environment, but it was very interesting for me to learn it.
C = Create
R = Read
U = Update
D = Delete

SQL
this is the most controversial acronym

Some people are for “sequel,” some are for “S.Q.L.,” and still others make their own pronunciations. The standard says that ‘Ess-cue-ell’ is the appropriate way of speaking SQL. However, many English-speaking database professionals still use the nonstandard pronunciation “sequel.”

Quizlet: Inglés para Developers [2022 - Platzi]


👋Hey Devs! I just created some units in Quizlet with the vocabulary and phrases in this course.
.
📚Quizlet is a very famous app to study and create Learning Cards.
I suggest that you study on the ‘Fichas’ mode and set Quizlet to show you the definitions first (I put the clues on ‘Definition’) and try to remember the term on the other side of the card (I put the term to remember on ‘Terms’).
.
🎉Hope this is useful for you!

Keep it going

I got some I learned at work the hard way (Asking myself wtf is this)
PTO = Personal Time Off
EOD = End Of Day
EVP = Employee Value Proposition
GTM = Go To Market

IMO --> in my opinion
FYI --> For your information
HR --> Human resources
ROI --> Return of investment

KISS --> Keep It Simple Stupid
DRY --> Don’t Repeat Yourself
JWT --> JSON Web Token
PHP --> recursive acronym: Hypertext Preprocessor
FAANG --> acronym: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix y Google.

NP: No problem

SEO: 👉 Search Engine Optimization.
ASAP: 👉 As soon as possible.
GIYF: 👉 Google is your friend.
IDK: 🤷‍♂️ A mysterious abbreviation. Every time I ask, nobody seems to know…

–“What does IDK mean?”

–“I don’t know.”

…😂😂😂

WYSIWIG is also used for those editors that allow you to have a preview of what you was typing on it, for example the comment editor we use here to leave comments 👀

Apparently these initializations are used tooo BE-> Back-End FE-> Front-End
DRY - Don't repeat yourself could be another important acronym
Acronyms can simplify conversations by allowing speakers to communicate complex ideas quickly. For example, using "SEO" instead of "Search Engine Optimization" saves time. When introducing acronyms, ensure your audience understands them. In technical settings, acronyms like "API" (Application Programming Interface) or "HTML" (HyperText Markup Language) are commonly used. It's essential to balance between clarity and brevity, especially in diverse groups where not everyone may be familiar with specific terms.
TLDR = "To Long Didnt Read" TTYL = "Talk To You Later" AFK = "Away from keyboard"
* OMG = "Oh My God", "Oh My Goodness" , "Oh My Gosh" * LOL = “Laughing Out Loud” , “Laugh Out Loud" * ROFL = "Rolling On the Floor, Laughing" * FOMO = "Fear Of Missng Out" * YOLO = "You Only Live Once"
Acronyms are shortened forms of longer phrases made by taking the first letters of each word. However, people often confuse acronyms with initialisms. Let’s clarify the difference: 1. **Acronym**: The first letters of each word form a new word that has its own pronunciation. * Example: **LATAM** (Latin America). 2. **Initialism**: The first letters are pronounced as individual letters. * Example: **UN** (United Nations). Though both are types of abbreviations, they have different pronunciation rules. ### **Using "a" or "an" with acronyms and initialisms** The choice between "a" and "an" depends on the **sound** of the first letter, not necessarily the letter itself: * **A URL**: The letter "U" sounds like "you" (a consonant sound). * **An HTML page**: The letter "H" starts with a vowel sound, so we use "an." ### **Common acronyms and initialisms in technology** Below are some examples of acronyms and initialisms you will encounter in your career: * **ASCII**: An acronym for the character set used in most computers. * **UTF**: An initialism for the Unicode transformation format, which includes emojis. * **ANSI**: An acronym for the American National Standards Institute. ### **The "GIF" vs. "JIF" debate** There’s ongoing controversy about how to pronounce **GIF**: * The creator says it’s "JIF" (soft "J"). * Many argue it should be "GIF" (hard "G") because it stands for "Graphics Interchange Format." Both pronunciations are used, but many prefer "GIF" with a hard "G." ### **Common file formats and technology terms** * **JPEG**: Joint Picture Experts Group. * **MPEG**: Motion Picture Experts Group. * **MP3**: A common format for music. * **SEO**: Search Engine Optimization. * **CTA**: Call to Action. * **CTR**: Click-Through Rate. * **CPM**: Cost Per Thousand. * **SaaS**: Software as a Service. * **IaaS**: Infrastructure as a Service. * **AaaS**: Applications as a Service. ### **Other frequently used acronyms** * **WYSIWYG**: What You See Is What You Get, related to user interfaces. * **UI**: User Interface. * **UX**: User Experience. * **CMS**: Content Management System. * **CRM**: Customer Relationship Management. * **B2B**: Business to Business. * **B2C**: Business to Consumer. * **C2C**: Consumer to Consumer. ### **Popular internet acronyms** * **OMG**: Oh My God. * **LOL**: Laugh Out Loud. * **FOMO**: Fear Of Missing Out. * **YOLO**: You Only Live Once. If you’re unsure of their meanings, feel free to **Google them**! ### **Numeronyms in technology** Numeronyms are abbreviations where numbers replace letters in a word: * **I18N**: Internationalization (18 letters between I and N). * **A11Y**: Accessibility, often pronounced "ally." * **L10N**: Localization.

GOAT 👉🏼Greatest Of All Time (El mejor de todos los tiempos)

Hay un par de acrónimos que parece que han caído en desuso.

RTFM: Read The F***** Manual

Esta clase también me hizo recordar el YACC

Había visto muchas veces en Github la abreviación LGTM cuando finalmente el pull request era aprobado. Busqué y lo que estaban diciendo era literalmente "Looks good to me".

No sabía la diferencia entre Initialisms y Acronyms. Aparte no sabía lo de A11y

DDL for Deadline GDD for Game Design Document

Acronyms are words formed by the first letters of the words in the phrase that we want to abbreviate.
The initialisms are the first letter of the words together but each one is read separately

LGTM: Looks good to me! o tambien puede ser Looks garbage to me 😂

CEO —> Chief Executive Officer
SWOT —> Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats.

TTYL= Talk To You Later (Hablamos mas tarde)
OMG = Oh my God
FTF= Face to face

El Inicialism es lo mismo que el Acronyms, la diferencia es que un Acronyms se lee (pronuncia) como una sola palabra, en cambio el Inicialism no, solo letra por letra.

Here I share with you some more acronyms I found on the Internet (some of them are not related to technology but I wanted to add them anyways):
NATO: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization
LASER: Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation
PIN: Personal Identification Number
RADAR: Radio Detection and Ranging
SMART: Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely
NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration
RAM: Random Access Memory

I hope they can be useful for you!

BTW --> By the way
RSVP --> Please reply. (The origin is from french)
BRB --> be right back
LMK --> Let me know
SMH --> Shaking my head
TTYL --> Talk to you later

POO: Object-oriented programming
