<p>Actually he thinks he's the <em><span style="text-decoration: underline">King </span></em>of <span style="text-decoration: underline">Princes</span>!!??!!</p>
<p>Come to think of it, he sometimes likes to act like the <em><span style="text-decoration: underline">Queen</span></em> of <span style="text-decoration: underline">Princes</span>!!</p>

Hey <strong>Locutus:</strong><br />
I went to search for "deacronymizing" to see if it was even a word, &#38; was going to try to put something funny here, but there were a couple 'hits,' one being this:</p>
<p><a href="http://uctaa.net/articles/meds/med05/med092.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://uctaa.net/articles/meds" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://uctaa.net/articles/meds</a>.....ed092.html</p>
<p>I coulnd't even make up something this good (from the website):</p>

<p>Wow, I can hardly believe that:</p>
<p> "Acronym Finder contains more than <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">4 million</span></em></strong> acronyms and abbreviations..."</p>
<p>I'm not about to start looking now, or I would be so engrossed, that I wouldn't be heard from again for weeks...... (although, IMHO, that's not necessarily a <em>bad </em>thing!!??!!)</p>

Hey <strong>Locutus</strong><br />
At 1st I didn't care to know or just guessed (right about 70%) what acronyms like IMHO meant, while others I made up were actually funnier–wish I would have written them down. But after a while I saw them on every forum, so I began to 'investigate.'</p>
<p>The only way I ever learned their meaning was to google them, &#38; sites like Wikipedia; that's all one has to do!</p>
