Acronym Overload

This worksheet teaches students to identify and correct redundant or misleading acronym usage. Through a short, humorous passage, learners encounter examples like “PIN number” and “LCD display,” which repeat the last word’s meaning. Students explain why each is unnecessary and provide the accurate form.
