I hate the fact that people abbreviate the things they personally enjoy with the first letter of each word in its name, then somehow expect other people to have any idea what the fuck they're talking about. I feel like you're purposely excluding me from your conversation, and that's a dickish thing to do.
My professor always told us to "Assume your audience knows nothing of the topic." It's good practice to spell out anything that is long first and then abbreviate it for the rest of the document.
