It's like www.  People say www instead of world wide web.  But www has 9 syllables where as world wide web only has 3.

On any form I only give the information they NEED not the information that is supposed to help them deal with their own messed up idea of equality for, sex, religion or race.

I am wondering if I can just answer "Jedi" to all these questions.

If I'm asked for my race I answer the 100m. They only have to look at the size of me to know my reply is not entirely serious.
