That's funny-peculiar, not funny-ha-ha:

This is something it's tricky to research with a search engine (unless
someone can point me at one that does case-sensitive searches): What's the
general thinking on TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) based on two words, using
the first two letters of one of the words?

I mean, like: CEL: Copyeditor's List: JPR: JBuilder Project: EURO: Efficient
Ultimate Robot.

Logically, these TLAs probably ought to be spelt out CopyEditor's List,
Jbuilder PRoject, Efficient Ultimate RObot. But ILS (It Looks Silly).

TIA, FCOL, and YSYB.
