Am I the only one who is never sure if they mean Guinness World Record(s) or Great Western Railway when people say GWR? I loved it when they were First Great Western, as they were FGW and there was no confusion. Now, though. AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

The context of the conversation/sentence usually gives it away.

USUALLY. Sometimes, it doesn't. For example, ''I went to GWR HQ today''. Is it the railway company's head quarters, or where Guinness World Records are based?

If somebody came out of the blue and said that to me, my reaction would probably be "what the hell are they talking about?" as opposed to "ooh, I wonder if they mean Gunness World Records or Great Western Railway?". Again, the context of the conversation should give that away.

I get your point there actually. II might just stop this topic all together now I think
