About the Acronym Attic
The Acronym Attic is powered by the same technology created by
Acronym Finder,
the world's largest, most accurate, and most comprehensive searchable
database of verified acronyms and abbreviations.
In our 20+ years of building and editing the Acronym Finder, we
have collected an enormous database (over 3.0
million definitions!) of unverified, but potentially valuable
content. Unlike some acronym and abbreviation sites which include
non-human-edited content, we didn't want to mix unverified content with the
carefully reviewed and edited content found at Acronym Finder.
Because no humans have reviewed and edited this content, it is possible you may
find incorrect, inappropriate, unsuitable, duplicate, or offensive content
among these definitions. If this is a problem, we suggest you use only
Acronym Finder.
