A UFO, or unidentified flying object, is anything seen in the sky that can't be identified. You may think of UFOs as the product of overactive imaginations and conspiracy theories, but the term itself was coined by the U.S. Air Force in 1953. It's an official way to categorize sightings that can't be explained scientifically. Most UFOs, however, do turn out to either have simple explanations or to be hoaxes. But if you believe you see a flying saucer or an alien craft, go ahead and call it a UFO.

AWOL is a military acronym that stands for "absent without leave." In the Army or Navy, being AWOL is not as serious as desertion (which is when a person leaves with no intention of returning). If someone is AWOL, they've only neglected their duties for a short period of time. Used in a nonmilitary context, being AWOL means not showing up when you're expected to.

+3+1Know more about it
If asked today, most people would probably state that the acronym “R.I.P.” stands for “Rest in peace” and that it refers to the body/corpse of the deceased. After all, this is the commonly perceived English translation of the original Latin phrase requiescat in pace — which just happens to consist of three words, and all in the same order as the acronym R.I.P. While the Latin word “pace” does derive from the Latin word for “peace” (pax), the term “requiescat” does not, in fact, mean “rest.” In the original Latin, it actually referred to a “prayer offered for the repose of the dead” that literally expressed: “May he [or she] begin to rest in peace.”

When someone piloting a boat or a plane desperately needs help, they can send an SOS. This distress signal, recognized around the world, conveys the urgency of the situation. A Morse code SOS is transmitted by sending three dots, three dashes, and three dots in rapid succession. It was developed for maritime use, so sailors could clearly signal for help. Contrary to popular belief, SOS is not an acronym: although you can think of it as "save our ship" or "save our souls," those don't explain its origin. Instead, the letters were chosen because they were "easy to transmit and difficult to mistake" from other Morse code characters.

Many programs represented four-digit years with only the final two digits, making the year 2000 indistinguishable from 1900. Computer systems' inability to distinguish dates correctly had the potential to bring down worldwide infrastructures for industries ranging from banking to air travel.

ETA stands for Estimated time of arrival and is the most commonly used term when it comes to estimated time of arrival. Thus, the ETA indicates when the delivery driver expects to arrive at the address where the parcel is delivered. The ETA is mainly used to give the customer an idea of when the delivery driver will be at the door. However, an ETA is not only useful for the customer, the estimated time of arrival can also come in handy for the delivery driver. This way, the delivery driver knows whether the order is on schedule and there is a good chance that the customer is at home, can take delivery and the driver can immediately resume his drive, preventing any delays.

Privately published books sometimes appear without an ISBN. The International ISBN Agency sometimes assigns such books ISBNs on its own initiative.
