Just name it and we’ll fix it

Our bulging email sack confirms what most people involved in the IT business have long-suspected: we might not always be great at solving a problem but we are right there when it comes to naming it.
After all, only when you have named a problem and rechristened it an ‘issue’ can you safely call in some consultants who will charge you for measuring it. Luckily we have you to do all that stuff for us for free.
‘Does this mean that a four-letter abbreviation will become a Flea (Four-Letter Extended Abbreviation)?’ Chris Bridges at NES Technical Support asks.
‘Five or more words abbreviated can be referred to as a Setla – Super Extended Tla,’ says David Salter at Lancope, who has spotted a continuing revenue stream in all of this; though Steve Messenger at Reuters suggests ‘EETLA’ – Extra Extended Three-Letter Abbreviation.
In which case, even better. We have the potential for a standards war.
