Network Dictionary – TLA and eTLA

TLA is a recursive acronym for Three Letter Acronym.

Which is pretty funny.

eTLA – eXtended Three Letter Acronym – used to describe four letter acronym.

Which is even funnier.

Note the use of best marketing practice with dropped ‘e’. Very kewl

Who said nerds don’t have any humour.
