I don't get why everyone is discussing the word "Gimp" from an English language standpoint when Gimp is an *acronym*, as I also pointed out earlier on in this discussion.
For example, "Sarasota County Area Transit" is a name of a transit agency and its acronym is rather interesting. :) Peace... Tom _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
