ACRONYM: Acronym CReatiON for You and Me
Official code: bacook17/acronym (428 stars, MIT, last commit 2022-12-01).
Abstract
Each year, countless hours of productive research time is spent brainstorming creative acronyms for surveys, simulations, codes, and conferences. We present ACRONYM, a command-line program developed specifically to assist astronomers in identifying the best acronyms for ongoing projects. The code returns all approximately-English-language words that appear within an input string of text, regardless of whether the letters occur at the beginning of the component words (in true astronomer fashion).
