Category talk:Initialisms

I have several problems with this new category:

1. Its title needlessly excludes acronyms and other abbreviations. Most people don't care about the difference between acronyms, initialisms, etc., and many dictionaries (e.g. Mirriam-Webster) list descriptions of both forms under the definition for "acronym".
2. I think the relatively verbose description of initialisms in the intro is out of place. For one, "initialism" is a common term, and secondly, xFamily is not a dictionary or all-purpose encyclopedia.
3. I'm not sure how we'll deal with the fact that the majority of our articles about Family terms are listed under their expanded titles, rather than their often more commonly used acronyms.

Do you think a category is preferable to a an article listing Family acronyms and initialisms? That approach would also have the benefit of allowing us to show the expanded terms without readers having to follow each link. --Monger 19:41, 15 October 2006 (PDT)
