Stands4 In the Place Where You Live...

.. now face north. Stands4 ( http://www.stands4.com/ ) is a searchable subject index of abbreviations.

There are several ways to get through this site. You can browse by topic (categories include governmental, computer, and medical), browse by first letter of abbreviation, and search.

Though at first glance there appear to be lots of subcategories, maybe there should be more -- there are 520 listings in the "Occupations & Positions" business subcategory! Listings include the abbreviation, what it stands for, and any additional information. Click on the plus sign to the left of the entry to add the entry to your list. (Registration is not required for this feature; maybe they're using a cookie thing)

According to the statistics section of this site, there are over 94,000 entries here. Considering that I saw a category with over 9000 entries, you're going to want to use the search engine. Fortunately it's easy to use. Type in the abbreviation and away you go. Unfortunately it's case-sensitive; ceo finds nothing but CEO finds 44 results (including "Certified Egoistic Organizer", "Children's Education Opportunity", and "Chiropractic Elite Organization," in addition to the more expected meanings.)
