@inthehands I agree that the alphabet-soup enumeration is useful, but my point is that as a popular term its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. It just sounds elite and effete and academic and pompous and silly, and it's way too hard to deploy in political arguments.
"We're here, we're ell gee bee tee queue eye eh plus, get used to it!" just doesn't have that same ring, now, does it? ;-)
Not that it matters, it's too late now; this is just an academic argument about academic terms. Nice chatting with you.
