Too much abbreviation
I've been reading an IT Passport examination textbook in recent days.
Soon I noticed that almost every idea or concept is written in three or four alphabets.
They're like KPI, CPU, GPS, ISO, API, PPM, and so on.
It means those ideas were imported from other countries.
Old Japanese people translated those ideas into Japanese but not all of them.
Some Dutch words are used in Japan.
I guess the speed and quantity of importing those ideas has been extreme, so we end up calling them in abbreviated forms.
