LGTM
summary
A clear claim: ambiguous acronyms and shorthand exclude people and create noise rather than clarity. Concrete examples include the LGTM PR comment misread as Let's get that money, a NATO-alphabet rickroll that relies on insider decoding, and public confusion that drags organizations into viral misinterpretation. Proposed fixes are concrete: build an acronym lookup like the VMware what the define (WDT) dictionary, inline tooltip tooling to expand terms, mentor to produce prerequisite content, and choose less stigmatizing language.
