RE: RPG Reserved Words

Phil

If you think that is what acronyms are for (swearing without spelling it out),
then I suggest they be banned from the list.  But not all acronyms are not
bad or should I say swear acronyms.  Maybe you need to research your
point of an acronym again.

Definition:  ACRONYM:  Word formed from the first initials of several words
                     IE: NASA, DOS, TWAIN (technology without an interesting 
name)

Isn't that the point of the acronym?!  To say something without saying it?

Personally I thought the F stood for "Feature-Rich".
