Yeah, I guess.

Do you think abbreviations and acronyms are useful?
They can be, but they also cause confusion. Especially in the medical field.

Do you have a favorite abbreviation or acronym?

No.
 
I know an average amount.

They can be useful at times.

No fav.
 
I know as many as I need to know, I suppose.

No favourites.
 
I like acronyms and stuff that most people don't realize are acronyms, like radar and lidar, and anything where the acronym forms a new word that is a meaningful summation, like a lot of NASA missions do, e.g. DART - double asteroid redirection test. They flung a spacecraft at an asteroid, like throwing a dart. That stuff tickles my brain.
