It should be required by God to spell out acronyms the first time they are used in a text. However, don't use them, spell them out then not use them again in that text. Don't use the acronym if the term or phrase is not going to be used again in the same text.

[quote] Thanks Bob,
Regarding relatively rare acronyms, it would be nice for the writer to spell out the full version followed by the acronym in brackets when it occurs the first time in a document. After that, it's all good. Acronyms don't bother me as much as the incorrect spelling of words and punctuation (specifically, the lack thereof) which can change the meaning of a sentence.
