How could we forget NINA?

“… and know that it was in California we learned the art of making long journeys with safety, to endure privations with cheerfulness, and to thrive under the most adverse circumstances, and these have enabled us to make strides in war which may seem gigantic to the uninitiated.”
(excerpt from a letter from Gen. W. T. Sherman to Governor Frederick Low of California, dated Goldsborough, N.C. March 24, 1865)

It has to do with not looking for the exception to the rule, but blending into the typical.

Ahem - If you're going to include acronyms, the purppose of the thread was that they be defined.
And how could we have missed YMMV (Your mileage may vary)?
'Cuz they aren't period relevant and or not regularly used on this forum?

Your Mileage Will Vary (which is maybe why we didn't have YMMV on this forum).
RRR = Red Right Return (as opposed to Johnny Left Port) in a ship channel.

A135, G135 = Antietam 135th Anniversary Reenactment, Gettysburg 135th Anniversary Reenactment.
NSA = North South Alliance
FFD = First Federal Division
Time to go to SOC (Stand of Colors) in KCMO (the RIGHT Side of Missouri in case you're looking at a Map, StL is on the Wrong Side of Missouri).

"But in the end, it's the history, stupid. If you can't document it, forget about it. And no amount of 'tomfoolery' can explain away conduct that in the end makes history (and living historians) look stupid and wrong. "
Not really Acronym but why is this?
Why do people refer to this vendor as "N.J. ******" or some other shorthand?
I am not up on my New Jersey lingo; could this be a word that should not be uttered outside the Garden State? Am I now gonna wake up with the fishes?

It is because that certain vendor threatened a lawsuit against the owner of another Forum if his name was used on that site, either in public forum or in the sale of new/used goods. All references to his name was to be obscured or removed. And if it's mentioned there, that's the way it is mentioned.

Is there a reason for this "disagreement", that the great unwashed of us may be informed?
