There are well-accepted abbreviations in various areas of maths, e.g.
ILP for Integer Linear Programming.
Let me answer this with a real life anecdote:
When I was a young graduate student, I attended some seminar. Literally
the first sentence of the talk was "Let R be a D.V.R.". The speaker said
the abbreviation "D.V.R.". I couldn't understand anything of the
introduction and only after 10 minutes or so, I realized that the talk
was about discrete valuation rings, a concept which I knew. So,
"well-accepted" is not the same as "known by everybody".
