As long as they let the old guy that doesn't work there but is always sitting there consult.I want the one developed by LEO's and gun shop employees,..
For traveling across the country by car, or whatever. That's why I thought it might be helpful with those laws.
Kinda nice to see Florida go green on the map. Their permitless carry kicked in June 1st.
POTUS, IANAL, EABODs, etc, are acronyms not abbreviations.You know, with all the abbreviation of scotus, POTUS, IANAL, EABODs, GFU, I would think everyone would be down with reco as in recommend.
POTUS is.POTUS, IANAL, EABODs, etc, are acronyms not abbreviations.
it is nice to be CC in FL, but there is still no open carry unless hunting/fishing/camping and even then you might get hassled, no CCW in bars or bar areas of food service establishments, and there is still a 3 day waiting period to buy a gun from a FFL.Kinda nice to see Florida go green on the map. Their permitless carry kicked in June 1st.
I say I-analPOTUS is.
"Potus".
Not the other 2.
I don't say "aye an all" or "eee aye bod".
I guess we can always start something new, though.
Maybe we can employ some onomatopoeias...
Onomatopoeia is the use or creation of a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. Such a word itself is also called an onomatopoeia. Common onomatopoeias include animal noises such as oink, meow (or miaow), roar, and chirp.
A good Onomatopoeia for EABODs is "gulp gulp gulp".
I’m not wrong.POTUS is.
"Potus".

Not how I expected this thread to devolve. But I'm ok with itAn acronym doesn't have to be something you can pronounce as a word. IANAL absolutely is an acronym.
An acronym IS a type of abbreviation.

While we are talking coons - can we discuss anthropomorphism...
If you've ever met a fox in real life, chances are it's not as cunning and charismatic as Mr. Fox, doesn't cooperate with other animals, and can't speak a human language. Assigning these humanlike qualities to a fox is an example of anthropomorphism, a literary device that pops up all the time in storytelling.
TY. LOLEABOD: "EE-uh-bod."
It's not that hard. But acronyms don't have to be made into words. The Army is packed with acronyms that aren't pronounced as words. They're still acronyms because they're formed out of initial letters.
An abbreviation that isn't an acronym? Something like "Jan" for January, or "Tues" for Tuesday.
Or "abbrev." for abbreviation.
There are also backronyms, and those are interesting too.

Some people feel strongly that acronym should only be used for terms like NATO, which is pronounced as a single word, and that initialism should be used if the individual letters are all pronounced distinctly, as with FBI. Our research shows that acronym is commonly used to refer to both types of abbreviations.

And, while I'm just champing at the bit to agree with @Reptile on this one, I'm not sure this is a hill worth dying on.
