I just thought I'd note, as I am a shameless vote-whore, that m-w.com<http://m-w.com>defines "acronym" as follows: Main Entry: *ac·ro·nym* <javascript:popWin('/cgi-bin/audio.pl?acrony01.wav=acronym')> Pronunciation: 'a-kr&-"nim Function: *noun* Etymology: *acr-* + *-onym* *:* a word (as *NATO, radar,* or *snafu*) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term; * also* *:* an abbreviation (as *FBI*) formed from initial letters *: INITIALISM<http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=initialism> *Therefore, all proposals have acronyms for titles. Note that proposal 28 fixes this by making it required that the acronym be an actual word. (Voice gets half of the bonus for helping to spot the bug.) Also note that proposal 10 more clearly defined acronyms, making this sort of bug impossible. Vote for 28! Retroactively vote for 10!
