TM stands for appx 20 or more things, so you cannot guess which one. Also,the same goes for LAM. It stands for seven different things and you cannot guess which one.
I was taught in this situation to leave it as said. My account even specifies in assessment and plan to never abbreviate except in this case when you cannot 100% verify what the doc means if there is more than one meaning to the abbreviation.
Hope this helps
