Acronyms

Context really matters sometimes. At work, one of our whiz-bang pieces of price optimization software spits out these things called "DNF reports". I'm in racing sports. To me, DNF means "Did Not Finish"not "Data Navigation Framework". Maybe they should not let the math dorks name the product features?

So I was a little curious this morning when I saw an ad in my Gmail for "CBT training". Maybe mainstream folks wouldn't have found it odd, and maybe it's only because I live in SF that I'm aware of this, or maybe because I am a very kinky boy who just looks all innocent, but I know "CBT" can have a very different meaning.

Thus, I was curious about exactly what the company was offering me in my Gmail.
