That may be so. But when it comes to consuming information on a subject I prefer my sources to be those who know what the acronym stands for which makes mis-spelling it a near impossibility.

Knowing what something is in the abstract versus knowing it intimately is a huge difference and if you don't know how to spell the acronym you've pretty much outed yourself as someone who is not familiar with the details at a level that would allow for a constructive discussion.

It would be like talking to someone about cars who spells BMW as WBM and Porsche as Porche and then to have a discussion about the relative merits of each. Of course it is just form, not function but I would highly discount the opinion of someone who would not be able to spell the names over someone who can, chances are the former hasn't driven one and might not even be of legal driving age.
