You can't fault the British Broadcasting Corporation for making a poor acronym choice back in 1922. Just look at Ayds, the weight reducing diet supplement.
But I can absolutely fault them for picking a domain name in 2023 that uses that same acronym
Are you suggesting the BBC should get a new name?
How about BWC: British Worldcasting Company
I'm suggesting that "social.bbc" looks like a website for hookups
So are they never allowed to abbreviate their name anymore?
