Uh, not me?

ATM stands for Automatic Time Machine, duh.

How could you all not realize that?

~AA

Raga speaks truth.

ATMs and ISBNs exist, however.

Heh, I like this blog.

Har har.

So you probably don't believe that my MOCs exist either.

No, your MOCs are real, but your MOC Creations aren't.

LOL loud.

ATM machine = stuff in factory that makes ATMs.

Duh.

Human nature refuses to let acronyms exist by themselves. They must be supplemented by a sensible sounding word.

Just because it sounds sensible doesn't mean it isn't stupid =D

Duh.

They're not made by hand?

Oh sure, but no one's ever looking for those; although... hmm, I think I'll use that when someone asks.

I could only think of those two at the time because I work at a college* bookstore and hear "ISBN numbers" too many times while I'm there. I don't hear the other as often, but I do hear it.

They are pet peeves of mine.

*Contrary to popular belief, college may only make you seem more intelligent. "We regret to inform you that common sense is not offered at this university of higher learning as a basic course of learning."

If you're saying "an emohcee" it works. Some people think "mock" sounds silly.

I don't think MOC is considered an acronym anymore.

MOC could be pronounced either way actually (so much fun); of course, there are other acronyms that we don't normally say the letters separately when they can make otherwise faux words: NASA or NATO, for example. I say "mock" but spell it without the k because if it has a k, it's probably an official set.

Actually, I think more along the lines of mock-up... but this is neither here nor there.
