How to say IP? - Fortune [possible satire]

AltreusHmm I should have checked the licence on Inline::Lua
dwuorochi_: licence it and people will steal it anyway :)
YaakovWell, you can try to steal that, but it would be like a mouse stealing a battle tank.
dwuAltreus: you mean acronym?
AltreusPerl license
Altreusdwu: n
AltreusIP is not pronounced as a word so it is not an acronym.
AltreusAt least not in the original meaning of the word: which is the only meaning given by a majority of dictionaries
YaakovYes, it's not a true acronym, though the word now has that baggage.
orochi_Ip Ip Ip!
Altreusni!
* orochi_runs away
dwuAltreus: i say ip... :)
YaakovIP would be an abbreviation.
dwualso, initials? but isms are cool.
rindolfI see Eye.Pea.
dwuoooh yes.
dwuand dead people?
* rindolfis listening to Sesame Street - Yip Yip Martians
Altreusdwu: Intent is involved; just because you say it as a word does not mean it was meant to be said as a word ;)
