You could create index entries for them. But it's actually less work simply
to spell them out. As you've just shown, abbreviations save no time at all,
neither for you -- you have to do all this work to create a glossary, nor
for the readers -- who would have to refer to the glossary.

Jezebel,

So your disdain for acronyms carries over to abbreviations. Misters Ed
and Rogers apparently agree :)

Yes, if you need to explain them. For the exactly the same reason. The
writer is making work for him/herself, and for the reader. Spell them out
and you eliminate both tasks.
