GnarlyCharlie4u posted:This can't be loving real. http://www.leggo.it/news/italia/bufala_salerno_reggio_calabria_autostrada_pilone-1942741.html A photo posted on the Facebook page 'The Pentastellato', and then removed, would have demanded to show serious failures at construction sites where you are trying to end the infamous stretch of motorway between Salerno and Reggio Calabria. A work still unfinished after decades, although Matteo Renzi announced that it will be completed by the end of the year. The photo shows a section of motorway with a dangerously decentralized pylon with respect to the roadway, and was accompanied by the following caption: "From our information, this photo is of the Salerno-Reggio Calabria. Renzi said that later this year will be completed ... State also serene. Very peaceful. " Too bad that highway is not the Salerno-Reggio Calabria, and did not find even in Italy. The photo was in fact taken to Twitter and then used 'ad hoc' on an Italian page, but depicts the motorway from the Spanish city of La Coruna with the airport of the capital of Galicia. To publish it first had been a citizen, worried and indignant, he had asked for an explanation to the authorities. The answer came from the Ministry of Transport and Public Works Spain: the A-14 motorway in question was built with off-center pylon to allow easier expansion with the construction already planned but not yet started, the a third lane.

It's apparently real and in Spain. Public Works thought they'd build in advance for future planned expansion of that stretch of highway. An Italian shared it claiming it was in Italy as a jab at the highways not being done yet or something and it blew up. Holy poo poo beaten

It should be possible to modulate the LASER cleaner so it can do things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG8RAbWs1yo

Typing it LASER just looks weird nowadays, even if it is properly an acronym. There's someone in the airpower thread that does the same with RADAR, and I always  a little whenever I see it.

At what point does usage make an acronym into a word? I mean, languages need a word that means "LASER" due to all the applications we've put them to, and there's an obvious path of least resistance.

In British English an acronym literally is a word that's been formed from initial letters such as laser and radar. American English uses the word acronym to mean all sorts of abbreviations such as FBI, hence your question. Basically the point is when you don't pronounce the letters when you say it out loud.

I was browsing at the local charity shop on the weekend and noticed that their phone lines seem a bit raggedy. Looks like the cover got knocked off at some point and they never bothered replacing it.  This was off in the corner of the store in an area which couldn't be seen from the counter but was easily accessible by kids or anyone who wandered in, which probably explains how it got so messy.
