Not a big fan of acronyms that can take on different meanings that can confuse people. e.g When people pronounce SQL as "Sequel". Not that I don't do it too.
I read a headline that reads: WHO says Ebola has killed 1,069 people in West Africa
It read more like a question to me.
If I were in charge, I would change the name to the organization to the Organization for World Health.
OWH is a better acronym for it anyways.

Why? Isn't the historical evolution on the Sequel people's side? Doesn't the development go basically as follows?
DSL/Alpha -> SQUARE as a simplified version -> refinements to SQUARE lead to a language called SEQUEL -> SEQUEL rename SQL.Last edited by pelagius; 08-13-2014, 12:00 PM.

Hit hard this year. Expect the price of Nutella to go up."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
