Innula Zenovka Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I came across this list the other day, though it's by no means complete: http://virtualoutworlding.blogspot.com/2011/01/kit-language-of-virtual-village.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelli May Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 That list is fine as it stands, but it repeats one of those little errors that always bug me. ALT, AV, and (although it isn't on that list) SIM do not need to be, and should not be capitalised. They aren't acronyms*, but contractions of alternate, avatar and simulator. *Most of the terms on that page aren't acronyms either, but initialisms. The difference seems to be passing into grammatical obscurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
