I'm sorry, but questioning "what is WSL" doesn't justify an LMGTFY. The original post said nothing about Windows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_information_technology_initialisms didn't list "WSL". Neither did https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computing_and_IT_abbreviations#W . Neither did https://techterms.com/category/acronyms . The LMGTFY you created still took about 2 minutes research to find. Let me tell you how I handle acronyms, because I'm not a WAD (Walking Acronym Dispenser). See how I did that? If there's a reasonable chance that some readers won't know an acronym, the first time I use it I spell it out and put the acronym in parenthesis, or use the acronym and put the phrase in parenthesis. That's no hardship on me, and that way, my readers don't need to take two minutes to look up an easy acronym, or ten minutes on this one. And don't get me started about acronyms meaning five different things, and having to research for the closest fit. Glib use of acronyms doesn't indicate intelligence, and refusal to research obscure ones before asking the user of the acronym doesn't indicate stupidity or laziness. SIOOT. Spell It Out One Time.
