Simplified Meaning:

When we create a short version of a phrase using the first letters of each word, called an acronym, it should make it easier to understand what we're talking about. If it makes things more confusing, then it's not helpful. Imagine you're in a new job and learning how things work, and someone says "FYI" instead of "For Your Information." If you know what FYI means, it saves time and helps you learn faster. But if you're not familiar with it, you'll be confused and have to ask. So, good acronyms should make information clearer and quicker to grasp, not create more questions. When using acronyms, especially with people who might not know them, it's good to check if they understand to keep communication smooth and effective.
