    I dunno why, but when I see all those letters together like that it reminds me of a certain forum member's name: "obiwancanoli".

    My bosslady has one of those on her desk.

    TLTW........ (Too Long To Work).... acronyms have to be shorter and it helps if they are articulable.... Cheers, RickO

    " pronounceable name made up of a series of initial letters or parts of words; for example, UNESCOfor the United Nations " Your examples are not acronyms. It has to be a pronouncable name. Common mistake though. image

    It was a joke. (Notice the wink.) Clearly no one would ever, in a billion years, ACTUALLY use that as an acronym. It would be easier to articulate an entire phrase....except me.

    lkeigwin: That's what I'm talkin' about, a very nice example of O.C.W.A.N.B.M.W.L!!! image
