This is the best online source for meanings of acronyms and initialisms (wisely not distinguished in its listings)--but it's burdened by problems that could easily be corrected: (a) Its organizational structure is needlessly opaque. Translations of each abbreviation are arranged in columns according to usage categories [Information Technology, Business & Finance, etc.]. The first column, formatted a bit differently, is headed "All definitions." The user is led to believe that this is simply a restatement in one place of the various definitions in the other columns, but this is not the case. (For example, the common meaning of ABS as antilock braking system is found only in the "All" column.) The site should either [1] have the "All" column reflect exactly what may be seen in the other columns, or [2] rename it "All other" (or similar), and have it reflect only what may not be seen in the other columns. (b) Confusion is proliferated by the site's introductory statement, "Find out what any acronym, abbreviation, or initialism stands for." In fact, Acronymfinder understandably makes no attempt to define the thousands of abbreviations that are neither acronyms nor initialisms. (c) A disturbingly high number of the links found in its expository pages lead nowhere--including a link that appears in several contexts to its contact or feedback page. In view of its boast, "100% human-edited by paid staff," one wonders why a member of this staff could not take the few minutes to use one of the many free online tools that will easily track down such dead or broken links.
