No, I don't think so. Unless there is something particular about that very one hanging on the wall, it should be a SS-Soho. Looks sweet though... Originally Posted by himself

I do not mind abbreviations in general but as a history aware German with a family history ranging from Theresienstadt to Nuremberg trials I always get a little shock when I read SS. My mother's stepfather was hung in 1951. Originally Posted by Sleeko

Fellow German here. I have the same reaction every time I hear super-smooth Mark Whitfield praising the greatness of the "D'Angelico Deluxe ES!--ES! model" in the videos... Originally Posted by Bop Head

I remember one of our teachers having to explain that the field trip she was taking students on was to the National RESTAURANT Association Convention. Originally Posted by wintermoon

No NGD's for me recently. M4 AR's take up more cabinet room it seems even with the brace folded. Probably because I like to keep the Magpul's in and the red dot pokes out a bit. Still, not as bad as the SOCOM M1A with the 3X-10X 40mm. Fortunately the FN's, CZ's and HK's fit in the door.
In technical literature, the convention is to spell out the acronym the first time you use it even if you believe it's intuitively obvious to your readers.
- It's not what a jazz gig pays. It's about maintaining the marketplace and some playing standards. I don't see jazz amateurs playing cheap or free here in southern Oregon, but there are lots of folksy singer/songwriter types that do. And generally, you get what you pay for.
- Glad to see Larry C using backing tracks. Can't always have a combo at your disposal.

That's true in all contexts. Every style guide I've ever seen says to spell out acronyms and initialisms ("AI") in quotes and in parentheses on first use, and/or include them in a glossary or list of abbreviations. You'd think tech people who spend the bulk of their lives untangling other people's undocumented/uncommented code would know better than to pay confusion forward, but apparently not.

Took me a while to get SCOTUS and POTUS. Sometimes I still forget. Thank-you Google!

Sometimes I prefer the terms SCROTUS and POS-US. It varies. Originally Posted by ccroft

Acronyms are why College Of Notre Dame Of Maryland had to change its name.

Which is an initialism, not an acronym. Originally Posted by Jim Soloway

A sad story, though many members of families living in the Deutsche Reich suffered a similar fate. To this day, some people are frightened when they see a blue stamp. Others suffer when they see the word "DDR" (GDR), abbreviations from the time of colonial times or crimes committed against the indigenous population. I'm currently reading Varlam Shalamov's books; they fit wonderfully into this world's time. Originally Posted by Bop Head

I have always been wondering what guitar players think about such a German guitar, a pompous showboat and certainly rare collector's piece of great craftsmanship quality (actually these guitars sound better than what is presented on the poor clip of that commercial seller).
Btw., the guitar came from a Scandinavian owner; Scandinavia is not known for having (voluntarily) sided with the Nazis.

Wow. That Hoyer Bianca is amazing. I have a 1936 Calace' from Naples, Italy, and I thought it was a piece of art. That's amazing.

That is a LOT of bling for one guitar.

It is just a guitar.
