Is there a better way to introduce acronyms through a dialogue? One way of doing it, is to mention what the acronym stands for at the beginning and then use the acronym afterward, but that's a bit weird and unnatural, because people won't say "National Aeronautics and Space Administration" they will say "NASA", so what's the alternative way of doing this? For example: > "The National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided to hire several contractors for the design of the module, but NASA haven't yet given all of the specifications yet, so we will wait a month before beginning the design. In the meantime, you can contact NASA for additional details on the specifications that they gave us."
