Second on my list of favorites right under diaf.
Hmm, I've never really got to grips with the rules for what initials should be included in such abbreviations. I'm sure that conjuctions used to be ignored and, as someone recently pointed out to me, most UK universities exclude the word "of" in the abbreviation for their Departments of Social Sciences. Conversely our Department of Education, whilst taking every opportunity to say how important such study is, positively emphasises the conjunction in Computer Literacy and Information Technology. Probably just down to how pronouncable an acronym it makes?
