> "It wasn't until I found out about WGU"

Could I politely suggest writing out the full acronym the first time, and then using WGU subsequently? It'd be a good deal more considerate of non-U.S. readers.



Just adding this on OP's behalf:

WGU = Western Governors University

You're absolutely right, apologies for that. It can be easy for me to forget that people don't have every acronym that I know implanted into their head.

Sibling comment already stated this, but I'll just say I was referring to Western Governors University. I have added an edit to the post to clarify.


Yes it leaves me guessing.

West Georgia University?

Washington, George Understanding-Builder?


Western Governors University

But they rarely use the full name, even on their own site.
