When I see someting like BICBW,
1. I double click it
2. Get into a Google screen (or Duck Duck Go) (5 keystrokes using Launchbar on a Mac) It is unnecessary to copy it; Launchbar can with the selection.
3. Hit return.
4. Three out of the first five links contain the definition in the first line of the blurb. “BICBW stands for But I Could Be Wrong.”
Elapsed time: about five seconds.
Time to write this email, about 90 seconds.
