Heh, yes, and let me drop some grammar knowledge on you for that incredibly dimwitted remark.

First I stated technically, so while in common usage things like SCUBA are often rendered into scuba and LCD is often followed by a redundant usage of display according major style guides (MLA,NYT,CBC,AP) they must be rendered with capitols. The BBC style guide drops the necessity for a full period after each letter though however some still retain that usage (MLA). The only one in North America that is exempt, usually is UNICEF though Canadian media outlets tend to still refer to it in all caps. The NYT tends to refer to is as Unicef. Most people don't even know that SCUBA or LASER are acronyms, they have become accepted words in their own right. That does not change their initial meanings nor the stylistic rules that govern acronyms. Oh and when technical terms (IE SCUBA) enter common usage where the original full meaning is lost they are referred to as anacronyms. A combination of anachronism and acronym and acronym's are not an english language invention infact ancient Hebrew is full of them.

I'm always blown away by the ignorance of my Canadian educated peers, its like most people my age never took technical grammar.

I'm not saying in day to day life that it matters, in the lives of people who write for a living things like this make a difference. Plus more most of us its our first language and I always took pride in knowing how it works.
