QED or YMMV are definitely not trivial in the context of this mailing 
list. This is actually selfish of yours to consider everyone reading the 
mailing list should have the same English level, latin idioms and 
Internet slang as you do. Language is a tool to be understood by others. 
If you're only understood by yourself, it's useless. That's also 
consistent with your one line code review that we often ask you to 
clarify because it's so vague and can have so many interpretations. The 
acronyms are just a symptom of a wider communication problem.
