You're teasing right? No. I just never know which things I'm allowed vs. what others are. And I don't even know where to look for my user number. If you want me to change your post, I will (she said, wondering if he was asking for proof.)

Hey, a new acronym (just what we needed...): GGWH. Let me be the first of this bunch of super-pedants to point out that strictly speaking that is an initialism rather than an acronym.

Let me be the first of this bunch of super-pedants to point out that strictly speaking that is an initialism rather than an acronym. im sure youre right although it looks like a perfectly respectable welsh word and looks like it would probably be at home as a central consonant cluster in Irish, where it would no doubt be pronounced "mary". i googled initialism and found a recent discussion at blog called languagehat.

an aside to those "in the know" (or not)..
that 'hat' link contains many comments from Stuart, who we knew as sjmaxq, and if you follow his link you get the Where Can I Look It Up? page.
