| 153187 | 2003-06-18 04:20:00 | But godfather, you've done it: used "TLA" as if it means "acronym", rather than its full expansion. :D That's how "4 letter TLA" appeared on the newsgroups. I suppose some words which happen to have (1 letter more than 3) letters, and we're not allowed to use here, could be called "EW"s. |
