It's been a requirement at all the publishing houses I've worked with for computer books, and goes beyond just abbreviations and acronyms to include jargon and technical words the average reader isn't likely to know (e.g. This past year, John learned HTML, the HyperText Markup Language, which is used to created Web pages. and Riboflavin, the vitamin more commonly known as Vitamin B2, has the following properties.....) The practice increases overall comprehension for everyone! Ann
