Jargon/Acronyms
By Happy Happy •
There is extensive use of acronyms in English i.e DVD, CNBC, IAEA…etc, we even have almost forgotten what the lengthy form stood for..:) Acronyms aren't used in Arabic, jargon is.
Even on Qatar living, we have our own terminology. We need a QL Glossary for new joiners, read:
Make sure "QL" "OPs" are in conformity with "QLGL". "PM" mods to report violations. Moreover "NFH" of "MMMs" is the coolest so are "QLSG" members and more..:)
Are they heavily used in your line of work? (Don't publish personal info please).

At the school where I taught, each faculty meeting commenced with the same rule:
