Interesting approach, leading to an exercise in "set theory", wouldn't you say? "Most"

A is all the list subscribers.
B is the subset of A who know of the three letters in the incorrect context.
C is the subset of B who also know of the three letters in the correct context.
D is the subset of B who do not know of the three letters in the correct
context.
E is the subset of C who studiously employ the correct abbreviations when
communicating to others.
F is the subset of C who studiously employ the incorrect abbreviation when
communicating to others.
Chris,
There is one other subset and I believe on emperical evidence (this
listserver) that many people fit the subset.
That is the group who know the two meanings of the three letters and use
them properly in context
