Once upon a time, an acronym was only used after the full phrase had been used and the acronym was indicated in parenthesis. Now it becomes a language only for the "in crowd". Another indicator of laziness? It seems that Mr. Ransome used few acronyms such as AP for Aged Parent; but only after it was made clear what it meant.
