DIY is one of the acronyms we throw around like crazy here at my acronym-crazed workplace. Where it refers to do it yourself. I have at least convinced people not to call it DIY in our public communication about the DIY thingy.
No, I just think it's unfriendly - as makes it sound like we're putting the burden on them instead of doing it ourselves, which isn't really accurate anyway. People here are very attached to their acronyms. It can take someone months to figure out what anyone is talking about.
