in reply to max random

Hi,

Silly me, but, because of a brain f*rt, I had to look up PRNG on wikipedia.

It seems I'm having more and more trouble remembering all those tla's.

    perl -le 'print length("PRNG")'
    4

    FOUR letter acronym?

      My mistake, I should have linked to the jargon file, especially entry 2. The jargon file states that a TLA can have more than 3 letters!

      --
      if ( 1 ) { $postman->ring() for (1..2); }
      TLA: Three Letter Acronym
      ETLA: Extended Three Letter Acronym
      DETLA: Double Extended Three Letter Acronym

      'TLA' is a TLA, 'ETLA' is a ETLA and 'DETLA' is a DETLA.
