I just found-out about a website that is on a hunt for acronyms, and 4-letter abbreviations.
Copied below are some links and snips from their site, along-with the "AC"s that they are still looking-for.
They only accept ONE, or the FIRST submission!! for entries, so let's get our AC, (Atlantic City...,Atlantic County...), submissions ON THE LIST!
Between 1998 and 2002, the Three Letter Abbreviation Hunt managed to track down meanings for every single one of the 17,576 possible three-letter combinations.
The bigger challenge began in 2004- the hunt for all the four letter abbreviations.
There are 456,956 to be found, so there's still a very long way to go. But with your help, this can be done.
Thanks
A full list of credits and thanks will be online eventually, but in the meantime particular thanks to Richard Brain, Phil Mackie and Garmt de Vries, whose assistance has been ABCD.
We're still looking for almost half a million different listings... far too many to list here, so here's a list of all the combinations that we're missing beginning with "A". If you know what any of these combinations stands for, please submit it!
