A request for input to a term glossary should utilize correct terms. GLWTS isn't an acronym. It's an abbreviation. When I saw the erroneous use of the word acronym, I wanted to respond ASAP. (ASAP....now that one is an acronym). Then of course, there's the special class of abbreviations known as initialisms, such as FBI, CIA, NRA, DMV, and the list goes on. BTW (abbreviation for by the way), just having a little fun here.
