OLoCA


Hi,

I was poking around the Cygwin site and noticed the 'acronym' section.
 The section should be called 'abbreviations'.  Acronyms are a subset
of abbreviations that a person can say like a word, like squares are a
subset of rectangles.  All acronyms are abbreviations but not vice
versa.  CIA is an abbreviation, NASA is an acronym.

Also, you can make your abbreviations more clear (easier to guess and
read) by showing articles (the, a) and prepositions (of, from, to,
with) as lower case.  Out Of The Box would be ootB.
