There is a classic scene in the movie Good Morning, Vietnam in which Robin Williams’ character, Adrian Cronauer, remarks to another character “Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn’t we keep the PC on the QT, because if it leaks to the VC, he could end up MIA, and then we’d all be put on KP.” The scene is incredibly funny not only for the amazing use of so many acronyms in a single sentence, but also for the seemingly bewildered looks displayed by the other characters. As the audience, we aren’t completely certain that these military characters fully understand the military jargon with which they have just been peppered. While these confounded gazes are very amusing in a movie scene, the same gazes from those reviewing your jargon-laden grant would be significantly less humorous, especially when it meant your worthy program received absolutely no funding.

CharityChannel's WE REVIEW

CharityChannel members who have been admitted to the WE REVIEW Contributors Panel are eligible to receive recently-published books from a variety of publishers (and some self-publishers) to review. Reviews are not limited to books published by CharityChannel Press, the publishing project of the CharityChannel professional community. If you are interested in reviewing books, you are welcome to apply. Note that, even though WE REVIEW has been publishing reviews for over a decade, it has recently been reorganized and re-launched. We took the opportunity to remove prior reviews, since our focus is on newly published books.
