Your say - Weird words 2p2i2g

Abbreviation overkill 5j1aa

There seems to be a ridiculous number of gratuitous acronyms used in university life. There is a college in Toulouse which is known as N7. When pronounced ("en-set"), it sounds like the acronym ENSEEIHT: École Nationale Supérieure d'Électronique, d'Électrotechnique, d'Informatique, d'Hydraulique, et des Télécommunications. Gah, an abbreviation of an acronym!

Many, if not all, private colleges have an acronym name in , but as you spotted it, they can yet be quite hard to write!
