Why does everyone who is trying to look smart do that thing where they use an acronym, and then spell out what the acronym is for right after?
It doesn’t make you look smart. It makes you look like you don’t know what acronyms are for.
No, that’s actually good practice. One shouldn’t use an acronym (unless it’s extremely common) without first writing it in full. However, it should be written out first and then followed by the acronym in parentheses. Like so:
Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
After this, the acronym may be used freely. But if you’re just going to use the phrase once, you should just not use an acronym.
