Alright, I'll Admit It ... I'm As Thick As Two Short Planks Because ....

[wiltsman]

.... I just don't understand many of the acronyms used on this site. Now I can understand regulars like NHS and HS2, easy peasy, but some of the others - well I'm lost! Could I request if you're using an acronym that is not in everyday usage, you spell it out in full the first time before shortening it subsequently.

Now I know that GOAT means the Greatest Of All Time, but on checking thefreedictionary.com there are a load of definitions:

GOAT Greatest of All Time (LL Cool J music album)

GOAT Greatest of All Time

GOAT Graphics Optical Analysis and Translation

GOAT Government Owned Alien Territory (Lady Gaga)

GOAT Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test

GOAT Get Our Act Together

GOAT Government of All the Talents (Gordon Brown's first administration)

GOAT God of All Things

GOAT Gone On A Trip

GOAT Go Away Troll

GOAT Generalized Occupational Aptitude Test (gaming)

GOAT Gene Ontology Annotation Tool

GOAT Goes Over All Terrain (vehicle)

GOAT Glossary of Acronyms and Terms

GOAT Gap/Overlap Analysis Tool

GOAT Grouped Optimal Aggregation Technique

GOAT Guru Of All Trades

 However, the acronym I'm trying to find is GOAS, which was used in one of today's posts.

Any help anybody?
