What is “LOE” short for?
Level of experience?
That makes more sense. I thought Level Of Effort. When I googled what it meant I found 3 different abbreviations in different contexts.
LOE in finance: Letter of explanation LoE in legal?: Levels of Evidence ncbi nom nig gov link?
And as I mentioned Level of Effort.
I so hate it when people use these ridiculous acronyms with meanings dependent on context. Just type out experience and everyone will know what you're talking about. What does 'level' even mean in this context? Do you level up to level 2 when you get enough experience like in a video game?
as a non-native english speaker, I've always found this weird love for acronyms in english kinda strange 😄
Relax man, I meant to type YOE but mixed it up with LOE in the midst of a work day
I don't think you got my point: Acronyms are silly. Especially the ones you can easily type out.
