ISRTBC HTH HAND
ISRTBC? WTF?
In sanktam regem tenet benedictus claudandus? No, seriously, I have no idea. I wish people would stop using such acronyms at all. I notice that Wikipedia articles are often full of them. Somewhere in the middle of an article the non-American reader is suddenly expected to know what the ACLU is (often much more obscure ones, this is just one that came to mind). It's really frustrating, especially when there is also no article, redirect or disambiguation page under that acronym.
Searching for ISRTBC, Google asks if I may have meant "ISRC", while dictionary.com suggests "ASARABACCA"...
I got one meaningful result for ISRTBC, and it's by Phil Boswell on [[Wikipedia talk:MediaWiki namespace text/Archive 1]]. I'm seriously starting to wonder if this is some secret shorthand for "YHBT YHL" or similar.
Secret shorthand for secret shorthand? Are you sure TINC?
