Which.... is a bad acronym

It's also a bad initialism.

If you say the letters, it's an initialism.

If the initials create a pronounceable 'word' and you say that 'word', it's a acronym.

"GSAT" is a combination of an initialism and acronym since you say the first letter, but you then 'wordify' the the first syllable of the second truncated word.

But, RADAR, is in the same Frankenword boat being RAdio Detection And Ranging. The first "a" in RADAR isn't an initial.

It it were up to me, it'd all be called "abbreviation."

Yeah it’s always confused me.

Glad I’m not alone LMAO.

Tbh Epic feels pretty empty without Mario, How to Train Your Dragon, and Monsters Unleashed.

It's like just 2 coasters, a decent dark ride, and a bad flat ride.

It is a good thing then that they built those 3 portals rather than just one.

So what did you get on your SATs?

I’ve always used them interchangeably, never really thought about it, thanks for the correction.

But in any case, I don’t really care if people “call me out,” as any time that happens it’s just people wrongly thinking I’m using AI, that I don’t want diversity in movies, or some other random straw man instead of focusing on the argument itself, and yes, Mario Kart is not loved by guests. I thoroughly enjoy it, but I understand why: people wanted a Radiator Springs Racers, not a shooter ride.

Mario Kart is loved by guests. I can pretty much guarantee 99% of the guests at Epic Universe on any given day dont even know what a radiator springs racers is.

What's built is built..main focus now is ramping up capacity and expansions.

That’s not what I said, please re-read again, it’s that people were expecting more of a ride like that (a faster ride, it’s a racing game after all), than a shooter ride.

And no actually, it has a mixed reaction, actually. I enjoy it, and think it’s underrated, but it is not what it “could’ve been,” like I get it.

94% of people were SATisfied with me.

No, it absolutely is not. It's probably consistently ranked as the single most disappointing experience at Epic in terms of expectations vs. the actual experience. It is among the top missteps Universal has has ever taken.

Stardust Racers delay bc some guy decided their shoes off on the ride would be a good idea (－‸ლ)
