They're a great start! Unfortunately, I didn't see them soon enough to include them in this update of the website, but they'll be there next week. (Next week is coming to mean 'some time in the next fortnight' actually, I don't seem to be updating the site as often as I used to. But I have heaps of free time now so it might well actually be next week.)

I especially liked the BLASTOISE acronym... keep it up!

Nobody grows apples! I hope that you can prove that - we can't have lies on the site, someone might prosecute the webmaster!  ;-)

NOBODY GROWS APPLES
No Orchard Businesses Operate. Don't You Grow Refections On Wasted Suburban Areas? Properly-fed People Like Environmentally-friendly Sustenance.

There should have been an "?" instead of an "." after the "Operate".

If only they'd stop adding more pokemon, maybe we'd be able to acronymise them all! Thanks for those - you're going to make quite an entrance when I update the site next.

Now, unrelated to Pokemon... I've just updated the 'gonym' CGI, so that when you click on a link to an acronym (like the ones in the acronymists' acronym lists, the acronym listings, and online stack) the page displayed also shows and links to the acronym's categor(y/ies). I plan to make the search CGI also list the acronyms' categories as well as other categories that meet the search criteria.

I just noticed that according to pokemon.com, Pokemon #249 is Lugia, while #245 is Suicune... not Suicine.
