What if you like OSP?
What OSP are you talking about? Because even googling OSP WW2 returns four (arguably three) different results.
- Offshore Patrol: A military contingent from the Philippines that was active during (and after) WW2
- Osprey Elite: A book series
- Osprey Publishing: Published the aforementioned book series. Also published another book series that revolved around WW2. All series seemingly being factual/historical books.
- OSP-26 model flare gun from Russia?
I am really starting to hate acronyms the older I get.
I work in corporate IT and literally have received entire emails in acronyms and it makes me irate. People need to just start spelling things out again. Especially when CBT can mean 3 different things and 1 of them is cock and ball torture.
Acronyms are functionally worthless. There are only so many combinations you can use when sticking with the English language. It's like 17,500 and something if you're sticking with 3 letter acronyms. Even if you know exactly what the person is talking about there's a non-zero chance that it could be sharing the acronym with something else you know. ESPECIALLY if you work in corporate IT such as yourself and have to deal with IT lingo and corpo lingo.
3 letter acronyms
I think you mean TLAs
...
"Way to stay on the abbreviation train!"
"You mean the A.T.?"
They're a YouTube channel that presents over views of different historical times in a fun way, as well as different chunks of media analysis.
Good for "I want 30 minutes of learning about some of the historical forces at play in the fall of the Byzantine empire, but I don't want to learn the intricacies of their tax collection hierarchy" type days.
More like "i want to be entertained"
This whole post is about WW2 (with a hint of greek mythology) and the acronym isn't for anything directly involved of any of that but a niche YouTube channel?
Acronyms need to be taken out back behind the shed and obliterated with a shotgun.
My angy-ness not withstanding, that sounds like it falls squarely into the first group mentioned in the image.
I really didn't read it as being specific to WW2 in the slightest, but just the different types of history enthusiasts.
Yeah, fair. That's on me for partially misremembering the post. Forgot there were so many other references.
It was for Overly Sarcastic Productions my bad
