Just trying to be helpful. You know what an LLM is and I know what an LLM is but I suspect that most people wouldn't have a clue. Best practice is to spell the words once, followed by the letters, then just use the letters thereafter.

That is ridiculously small for a lot. It simply does not leave enough room for anything other than a house (note, not a home).
