Actually I don't care a whole lot. I just wanted to "rile" people up.
1. I am a fsh with no i's.
2. You must be wearing Zubaz, 'cause you're daring to be different.
3. I am a man with 3 fingers...but that doesn't count my index finger nor my thumb. |

Isn't it only an acronym if it spells something?
Yes and no... Yes because only initials are used; this is called initialism. No, because initialism is a type of acronym. RADAR, for instance, is an acronym – RAdio Detection And Ranging. LBF is initialism – Little Black Francis
I am not going to pretend that I already knew that...I just looked it up...I usually rely on resources instead of my brain... How many others out there do the same thing? (btw, I knew the RADAR breakdown cause I worked on the damn things for four years) Conversely how many others are the opposite and save everything to memory?

I have TWO capitals in my username, which makes me special, or something.

I'm still waiting for someone to justify the rampant apostrophes.
If that conspiracy has anything to do with the Son of God I'll be surprised.

You're right. I should have clarified that improper capitalization is included. Even the acronym ones should really have the period sign after each letter. And "frnck blck"...why must you be non-capitalizatory? This madness has to stop...

In harmony with what the U.S. Congress is trying to attempt by subpoenaing (?) some prominent baseball players to testify about steriod use, I'm calling a hearing as well. This is for the flagrant use of grammar in user names. I therefore call the "non-capitalizers" to attendance to explain their reasons for going awry.
I'm dead serious.

I see your point.
However, a true nerd wouldn't be using "Microsoft Internet Explorer" right now. They would be using "DOS Internet Explorer".
