Nice list OP. Here are the few wrong ones I saw and their corrections...
VDA is Video Graphics Adapter (not Visual Graphic Adaptor).

ICT is Information and communication Technology (the 'and' must be there)

DVD also means Digital Video Disc

USB is Universal Serial Bus (not Board).

PDA is Personal Digital Assistant (not Assistance).

URL is Uniform Resource Locator (not Universal).
CEH is Certified Ethical Hacker (not Hacking).
