A tech worker's warning is making the rounds: naming a business unit something like "Software" can lead SharePoint to automatically abbreviate team names to an embarrassing acronym, "BS". The anecdote has struck a chord with people in IT and office work, prompting jokes about naming things being one of the hardest problems in software and a reminder to check how workplace tools auto-generate labels.
Why now: The funny, relatable mishap of automated abbreviations producing an unintended rude acronym resonates with anyone who has dealt with enterprise software quirks.
