I'm remembering working on a specific document revision that redid names of things, where *almost* nothing changed EXCEPT the abbreviations that appeared every sentence or so.

Since the changes were done globally, verifying the changes wasn't that interesting, but it did take a few minutes to find the rest of *almost*.

But enough about me...
