A few years ago, my nephew was talking about getting a "PS2". I was quite confused because to me, PS/2 refers to IBM's unsuccessful line of personal computers in the late 80s. How could I have known he was talking about a Playstation 2?
Acronyms and abbreviations get reused, but at the speed that technology moves, this can be confusing. |

I agree with you jackie....
Personally I hate calling it Muni... Its like when people in the climbing world call urban climbing...... Buildering ...... ugh... It makes me twitch a little bit out of annoyance

Long, long ago I became as self-conscious as Jackie is now about MUni, Muni, muni, and mountain unicycling in conversation. It became so disturbing to me that I was no longer able to say any of these words anymore. I can still write them effortlessly but the idea of pronouncing them publicly has become positively horrifying. Whenever these topics come up anymore I, more often than not, just burst into tears and run out of the room. I recommend that you do the same. It saves a lot of stress knowing how to correctly deal with a situation like this.
