OK, I understand what is going on. The server side only reads the new settings on its startup, not dynamically. If you restart discourse it will work (please confirm).

I am going to investigate a new way to load the settings so it is more dynamic. Thanks for telling me, I reboot my development server all the time, and in the production server we probably never changed our initial list of acronyms so I never noticed.
