I almost voted for the acronym, with a message saying that we haven't had an acronym in ages -- and then I gave in to the "logical" definitions. As they say, your first guess is usually best!

 

Congrats on the D0. Great job!

Who is Dave C2? Do we have a new player?

[Shani Naylor]

I didn't realize we could have acronyms.  Also, in the original list, #7 was blank but in the results it has a def with a vote. Most odd....

I almost voted for tho acronym, then I remembered that "proper" acronyms follow title case, omitting articles and prepositions, and assumed that a British organization would take that more seriously than the unruliness of American dialects.

Holy mackerel, that's a sentence to diagram.

[Daniel B Widdis]

I voted for the missing one.  Guess I’m odd.

 

Good to see it revealed… although I’m not sure who Dave C2 is.  Did Dave Cunningham have two defs?
