    None of those metioned are acronyms; they are abbreviations.
    Get it right or I will tell Hitcher on you!

    PS is short for Pferdestarke and is also known as cheval-vapeur or CV.

    I hate abbreviations. 18 months in the army was enough of them
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
