Is it so hard to understand that acronym/abbreviation is not a thing
that IBM or other company could establish?
This is simply part of language we use. USS could mean United States
Steel, United States Ship, Unix System Services, Unformatted System
Services, Upload Speed Sense, UltraSonic Soldering, Ubiquitous Synergy
Seeker and *many other* triplets of words.
Like SMS: for us it's Storage Management Subsystem, but Windows people
know other meaning and we all us SMS in our mobile phones (not to
mention Novell SMS). None of these acronyms had to be formally accpepted
by any company or agency.
In most cases the meaning of acronym is obvious from the context, for
exceptions it is perfectly OK to make disambiguation at the beginning -
like "Unix System Services (USS)" or simply avoid acrynyms at all. And
voila. No holy war is needed.
Now I'm going to send SMS that z/OS SMS does not work with MS SMS or
Novell Netware SMS. <g>
