This is funny on SO many levels, not least your continued claim that you are NOT a pedant......!
The bit that is the most subtly amusing was that I put IN the statement about not being an acronym because I was only EXPECTING the most severe P*E*D*A*N*T*S to correct me if I DIDN'T! I honestly doubted that ANYONE was that sad...... but...... it turns out that I had correctly calculated QUITE how 'sad' YOU are!
Out of interest and in the purview of PRECISION, SWRD *I*S* (or used to be) an acronym because people used to refer to Simon's company by with the pronunciation: 'Sword'... I don't know if they still do..... but of course, you are far too young to know this! Finally, many dictionaries seem to claim that it IS an acronym in any case. Many don�t differentiate between acronyms and initialisms ..... You might like to note that spell correction software doubts that the word �initialism� actually EXISTS at all!
*********************
Look son, the only thing YOU possess in the class of 'heavy' is your ignorance! If you want to claim you are 'well endowed' on this site, that tells us a LOT about you.... not least you minuscule dimensions!
Finally, I am quite certain that your claim that your 'equipment' gets used extremely rarely is accurate! You just forgot to specify that you meant it gets used only VERY rarely...... in company! For you, it's a game of 'solo'!
But...... please go ahead and have the �last word� on this one.... you sad PEDANT!
