Minimize abbreviations

[yichiang]

Referenced in https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/words/minimize-abbreviations/. We can try detecting these by looking for a word with ALL CAPS between parenthesis. We could try to see if the words before look like the definition by looking at the starting letters of the previous words, examples:

• Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound (SMART)
• Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
• American Journal of Plain Language Studies (AJPLA)
• blind or low-vision (BLV)
• teacher of the visually impaired (TVI)

If we find an abbreviation without a definition we could raise an issue in the report. We could also have a list of common acronyms like IBM, ATM, BMW, PhD, CIA, and FBI that don’t require a definition.
