    I have a personal problem with acronyms that are jury-rigged to make actual words for catchiness. They irk me no end.

        The one I hate the most is EOFY. When I find the advertising wanker who made this a word. I will torture him. Slowy. I will make him recite - End Of Financial Year...until the End of the financial Year! That is how much I hate EOFY

        Too right. And EOFYS is worse. There was no EOFYS when I was growing up.

        They’re all over aviation - worse than useless as mnemonics when someone uses the second letter of the word to make it fit.

        Or the deliberately misleading, such as the Australian Capital Territory's Internal Omnibus Network.

        If it doesn't make an actual word then technically it's not an acronym.
