How many of these, if any, are really acronyms and not just abbreviations.

They're all acronyms because they take the first letters of the phrase. An abbreviation would just be a shortened version of a word.

This argument again?! Even though the official definition of "Acronym" suggests that the letters together form a sort of word on their own, doesn't mean we need to shoot down every quiz that calls these acronyms. If you don't like it then stop taking these quizzes. The rest of us don't care.

Why isn't intelligence quota accepted?

because it is not a number that must be reached but a ratio of one number over another (being more or less relative to 100 as average)

PAC can also be Pan Africanist Congress - a south african political party that broke away from the ANC in 1959. They were the party that were demonstrating when the sharpville massacre occurred on the 21st of march 1960. 21st of march is now a public holiday in South Africa called Human Rights Day.

Trans people face much of the same sort of oppression that gay people face. Their fight isn't exactly the same, but there's definitely some overlap there. Heck, many of the people involved in the Stonewall riots were trans or otherwise gender-nonconforming.

A lot of gay people seem to be transphobic these days, which is unfortunate given the similar struggles they both face and the solidarity required by the LGBT+ community

I missed 13, but of those I had only heard of 3 (not from america/UK) ABS, PDA and vaguely RV. I tried variations of anti blocking and anti braking system and when does didnt work I switched to automatic for the a.., because here we dont say lock but block. And things like personal digital agenda (and palm was a memory that came up). RV road vehicle, rural. Thought of rough but decided that couldnt be it haha.

Weirdly those three, especially ABS and RV are very low !

This time for DDR I thought of something else (no not germany) but computer memory. Double Data Rate . I know, it isn't a game, but when looking for (gaming) computers, I always come across it. (I think that is what I thought last time too, but didnt know what the abbreviation stood for probably though dedicated disc ram or something back then haha)

True, but I've never heard that referred to as "the PAC" though, always the public accounts committee, whereas it's the other way round for the American version.
