I'm a simple guy, and FAL (as in "gal") takes less time to say than "F-A-L".
Any word that can be shortened and still retain it's meaning and clarity should be shortened. Life's too short to stumble over acronyms, especially if they spell something neato like FAL.
Problem solved.
Besides, if you were describing the FALfiles website, what would you say? "I went to the Efff Aye Ellll files dot com site last night". Mouthful, ain't it?
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I should rule the world. I solve the big problems.
