This reliable reference source contains over 80,000 entries, almost twice as many as the second AID. Since page size has been increased to 8%" x 11” w ith two columns to the page, nearly four times more terms are scannable on each page. Issues of New Acronyms and Initialism s. supplements to AID-3, are planned for 1971 and 1972; each issue of N AI w ill add about 12,500 new entries. (Supplements are paperbound; $15.00 each.) COVERAGE OF SPECIALIZED FIELDS MORE EXTENSIVE The great advances made recently in such fields as data processing, aerospace technology, and military affairs have prompted the creation of numerous acronyms for new projects and equipment. The Apollo moon flights, for instance, introduced many new terms which were unknown when the second AID was Acronyms published five years ago. These include BIG— Biological Isolation Garment; LOI—Lunar And Orbit Insertion; and SRT—Sample Rock Container. Examples of other fresh material in Initialisms AíD-3 are the Motion Picture Association ratings (X, GP, etc.); the official Post Office Dictionary tw o -le tte r designations for states; and the abbreviations for hundreds of religious orders. – New Edition "PREFABRICATED" TERMS GAIN POPULARITY If they are to be successful, current projects, movements, and other types of activities must be quickly identified by the public. To achieve this end, eye-catching acronyms are often coined firs t and then fleshed out w ith more-or-less appropriate words. AID-3 presents many new examples of this type of acronym. For example, from the fields of ecology and conservation come such terms as GOO—Get Oil Out; YUK—Youth Uncovering l‹rud; and ENACT—Environmental Action. The great sex education debate has given birth to MOMS—Mothers for Moral S tability; SOS— Sanity on Sex; and POSSE—Parents Opposed to Sex and Sensitivity Training. ENTRIES REFLECT CONTEMPORARY CONCERNS All of modern man's interests, aims, and problems are represented in the many new entries in AID-3 that refer to social and political groups and developments. For example, the flourishing Women's Liberation Movement has fostered such groups as NOW—National Organization for Women; POWER—Professionals Organized for Women's Equal Rights; and OWL—Older Women's Liberation. Those opposed to the Movement have banded together to form such organizations as THEN—Those Hags Encourage Neuterism; WOW—Women Our Wonders; and MOM—Men Our Masters. These sample entries indicate the tim ely, essential nature of the vast amount of information contained in AID-3.
