* This trope is probably why ''Air and Space Smithsonian'' magazine is usually abbreviated as "A&S" or "A&S Smithsonian". Notably, when it moved to four-times—a-year publication as ''Air & Space Quarterly'' the editors showed no such reluctance to abbreviate it as "A&SQ”.

As he felt that the work was extremely boring, James arranged and edited the first few reviews so that their initials spelled "Road Test Year Book". However, he also arranged the other reviews such that, when proper punctuation is added in, their initials spelt "[[https://www.flickr.com/photos/8443340@N06/sets/72157600242068267 So you think it's really good, yeah?
