Discourage use of "DCP" acronym #16

The acronyms section talks about "spelled out on first reference, followed by the common abbreviation or acronym in parenthesis." However, users tend to scan content, meaning acronyms like DCP can be read without having seen the first defining instance. "New York City Department of City Planning" should instead be shortened to "NYC Planning."
