I stumbled onto Abbreviation Library while trying to figure out what a client meant by 'QBR' in an email, and I ended up staying for almost an hour just browsing the business category. What I like most is that the definitions actually explain the context, not just the expansion — so I'm not left guessing how a term is really used. I've since gone through two of the short courses and started recommending the site to my whole team.
Writing my thesis meant constantly running into academic and institutional abbreviations I'd never seen before, and most of them weren't even in my usual dictionary. Abbreviation Library became my go-to tab for the entire semester. I especially appreciated that entries link to related terms, so one search often answered three questions instead of just one.
