No one calls my college by its full name. Local residents tell who
is one of them or us and who is an out-of-state visitor by whether they
call it "RPI" or "Rensselaer." Even the post office has people send mail
to "(Room #) (Building Name), RPI."
One day, a oman (compromise between man and woman so no one sues me)
goes into a government agency and fills out a long form.
Clerk: Siram (Sir/Madam), here on question #123124323, you can't use
acronyms.
Oman: I didn't. That's its name. Check the phone book.
Clerk: I've had a long day. Now please, what is the full name, not RPI;
the longer thing I write when I have to mail something there.
Oman: Oh, that. rpi.edu
