I know I'm being picky here, but the word in the subject line is incorrect. >From Dictionary.com here is the definition for the word anachronism. 1. The representation of someone as existing or something as happening in other than chronological, proper, or historical order. 2. One that is out of its proper or chronological order, especially a person or practice that belongs to an earlier time: "A new age had plainly dawned, an age that made the institution of a segregated picnic seem an anachronism" (Henry Louis Gates, Jr.). The word that should appear in the subject line is: acronym.
