Today I was sent an email that started with the following sentence:
"Last
Thursday, CAUL approved the CAIRSS Future proposal developed by the CAIRSS
Advisory Committee (CAIRSSAC). "
Now, I barely know what CAUL stands for, I have no idea what CAIRSS stands for, and I noticed they very rarely used CAIRSSAC anyway (but they did eventually throw in a COSIAC). The same email also referred to an ARC and a COP without any description of what these might mean.
I think I was sent this email because I'm part of something for which all of these acronyms must surely serve a meaningful purpose... but I have to admit that I took one look at the wealth of things I did not understand and thought "this email is not for me".
