	Some of these are iffy. KFT isn't an acronym, it's a NYSE symbol (I mean, what does the "T" stand for?) Actually many of these do not fit the definition of an acronym, which is a "pronounceable name made up of a series of initial letters or parts of words" (references: dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster, grammar.about.com). I enjoyed learning the origin of "OK", but, still, it's not an acronym. I do like the overall concept. Why don't you take a look at acronymfinder.com for some good suggestions in the future.

	Thanks for the feedback. It's acronyms, abbreviations and initializations actually. The original ‘A’ quiz stated that but, since it’s been so long I’ve kind of forgotten to put that down. I've added the note. And yes, acronymfinder is one of the many (many!) resources I have used in creating the quizzes in this series (KFT is on that site, BTW). It’s hard to find mostly common acronyms which are interesting and use a unique word for the letter in question (do you know how many ‘Federal’, ‘Foundation’ and ‘Federation’ acronyms there are out there!? When I’m done to ‘Z’ I’ll have over 900 unique acronyms, initializations and abbreviations. Phew!

	Surprised not to see KFC on here... figured Sporclers always love to use states or countries (or capitals of either) whenever the opportunity arises, not to mention it's a pretty commonly known acronym.

	Oh also I don't know how well known he is, but the acronym "BTK" I actually associate more with a semi-famous serial killer from the 80s who gave himself that nickname, which stood for "Bind, Torture, Kill".

	I've swapped out KFT, as you're right it is a little misleading. @Zak6009: KFC was on the 'C' version of the quiz, and that BTK will be on the 'T' quiz. I'm trying to avoid duplication. I've got most of them done now, just rolling them out slowly so I don't spam the category. Thanks for the feedback!

	If you're trying to avoid duplication, do you realise that IKEA is also in all of the other quizzes?
