Alphabet Soup

It's a confusing world of acronyms out there in Green-land: FSC, LEED, EPA, USGBC, ACE, and VOC, just to name a few. It took us a while to keep them all straight, and we still have to look the occasional one up. We're wondering how it is for you. In the spirit of this post, here's your chance to grade yourself... and in exchange for your vote, we promise to help clarify these acronyms (and more!) in future posts.

I'm acrophobic. For some reason, perhaps because English is my second language, I'm severely challenged by acronyms. Please spell it out at least the first time it is used.

I am challenged by English too, even if it is my first language, when it comes to acronyms. I use some of the same/similar acronyms in my profession and it can be confusing. Seeing the the meaning with the acronym from time to time would be very helpful.
