Fint. Jeg har jo selv lavet en lignende liste til Klimadebat.dk her, der både omhandler videnskab og politik, og som også inddrager danske forkortelser. Der er en del overlap. Du må dog meget gerne skrive et svar i tråden, hvis du har forslag til tilføjelser, dvs. forkortelser der bliver brugt så ofte, at de må betegnes som centrale, også i debatten her på siden. |
