I'm sorry the Arbiters of the Done Thing changed the name of the latest viral danger from "Swine" flu to "the Aetch-One-En-One."
Not only is it five syllables to one, (except when I personally am bloviating to a captive audience, I prefer economy,) but when it is used in a caption or a crawl on TV my brain reads, or sounds out "hienie."
Universalis, your very own breviary in pixels...
