Yes, we on the list prefer the achronym "K-I-S", as it eliminates the
"S"
that is the initial for "stupid", and even though it completely ruins
the
wittiness of using an achronym at all, we find it much more soothing. We
tend
to frown on the tongue-in-cheek, if there is possible misconstruance of
a bad
word. Safe blah words are much preferable to risky words.
As our heads slightly lilt, and you can see our tongues in the middle of
a
slight smile, we read for calming unmistakable, pleasant words &
acronyms.
Thank you,
Larry
