[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 447184, member: 6705"] What's even better is, the federal government has all these acronyms, then treats them as a word, then mispronounces it and/or the acronym isn't quite right. ASAP was a good one, as is FUBAR. However - TDY is Temporary DutY (err...). A ditty is a song, but a DITY is a Do-IT-Yourself move. IAW isn't a union; it's In Accordance With and is pronounced YAW. A MORD is not something dead, but a Miscellaneous Obligation Reimbursement Document. I could go on, but I won't... [/QUOTE]
