DST - 56 Ways

EDIT: Feb 2023. Blogger took down this 14 year old post for violating content guidelines. Best guess was one of the acronyms cited here could make a bot think it was a different kind of blog. I tried redacting part of the word before resubmitting in case that was in fact the technicality that triggered the takedown. (Blogger mods—if it’s something else please comment with the specifics!)

Rather than recount my annual rant, this year I thought I'd present a list of other DSTs.

I suppose this could also be titled "Acronym Overkill"
