Sigh. Thomas. You are so quick to point out minor syntactical flaws in someone else's writings while the pomposity exudes from your posts.
Alas, I will not debate with you.
I have no idea what comes after your name, Thomas. You've taken a wholly generic post and responded with characteristic venom.
By the way, the American Heritage Dictionary's first definition of 'acronym' is as follows:
A word formed from the initial letters of a name,as WAC for Women's Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words.
(Note how I issue credit for where the definition appears in the form of preamble, neat huh? It's a literary device that gives credit for source material so that the reader won't inadvertantly think you were it's original author, or trying to wrest credit from the original author.)
I don't know why I bother to supply you with the definition.
You obviously have stature here, of a sort anyhow.
It is known for certain you will use any device, whether noble or not, to further that stature.
Remember, the pride of a following, or lack thereof, makes no contribution as to whether your stance, or attitude, or conclusions are correct.
It was possible I was beginning to like you, but your behavior doesn't warrant the degree with which you are endowed.
You are in the flesh Thomas... on top of that, you are not satisfied until you bring everyone else around you to your level so that you don't feel so bad.
I'm not intimidated by your PhD., your status as moderator, or board administrator. The fact is, if I had you in a class, and caught you in a heinous error, I would still confront you about it.
I don't believe I would sweat the small stuff, like spelling.
Most of us try to leave that to the doctorates, earned or not.
If you don't want to provide a spelling checker, or a full time grammar critic, why don't you try to approach a debate from the point of REASON, and not form.
Anything you had to say would carry far more weight if you would reason. But no, post after post, "this word was misspelled" or that "definition is wrong." Man, you've got it bad.
I'm not going to play. Find another victim. There seem to be plenty of willing ones here.
I don't need BB. I just happened in here. I went for years without it, I'm sure I could attain many more. Certainly, it has not been as much of a source of inspiration as it has been a spectacle of infighting among full time people who should know better.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>That would be an abbreviation not an acronym.
