But when I use them, it's usually because I want to be precise without being wordy.
E.g., "RAM"... why say "RAM" when "memory" will do? Well most of the time I'll say memory, but when you want to distinguish RAM from ROM, VRAM, NVRAM, VM, cache, etc... but don't want to have to say "random access memory" all the time, the acronym is handy.
