Yowza.
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. |

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.

Isn't it only an acronym if it spells something?
I have TWO capitals in my username, which makes me special, or something.

No, it makes you a lawbreaker.
1. I am a fsh with no i's.
2. You must be wearing Zubaz, 'cause you're daring to be different.

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 wish all user names had proper capitalization.
