> > TLA = Three Letter Acronym

FYI the word 'acronym' refers to a set of initials that are intended
to be pronounced as a word (e.g. NASA, NORAD, NATO, SNAFU, RADAR,
LASER). Intials that cannot be pronounced (e.g. TLA ) are called
initialisms ... so an acronym is an initialism but every initialism
isn't an acronym.

So that means that TLA is NOT in fact a TLA ... it also probably means
that I'm pretty anal retentive ... but hey, if i dont spread the word,
who will? :P
