Worse than Y2K....more impactive than IPV6 ...its.....
TLA Overload.
Yes...you heard it here first... Three Letter Acronym Overload 2005 is the
year we completely ran out of three letter acronyms.
Due to increasing use of TLA’s in the computer and manuafacturing industry, the
approach to TLA OVerload has increased exponentially. In an effort to overcome
this serious overlap in TLA namespace, we have created the TLA Oversight Group
Association (TOGA) to propose a new standard for three letter abreviations.
Note the clever use of a FLA (Four Letter Abbreviation) namespace that is not
expected to run out until at least 2009).
The current proposal on the table involves the use of a date modifier/order
context identifier to all TLA’s based on the official date of registration with
the Global TLA Authority (GTA-2005-001).
For example, the Global TLA Authority will now and foreverever be referred not
as GTA (not to beconfused with the Greater Toronto Area, Grand Theft Auto, or
the Gerorgia Telephone Association) but as GTA-2005-001, providing both the year
of TLA registration and the annual index entry.
For existing TLA (now referred to as TLA-2005-001) usage, all companies, groups
and associations who wish to resifter their TLA-2005-001 can contact the
GTA-2005-01 at WWW-2005-025.TLA-20050-001.COM-2005-042 and register their
TLA-2005-001 ASAP.
With your help and support migration to the new TLA-2005-001 standard will be
painless and transparent to most people.
TIA-2005-091,
Rob A.
