Other variables to consider

• "Shoot Laser Beam" (once upon a time "laser" was an acronym and it's now become a word)
• "GUI Generator" (gui might be considered sorta "in-between". I think it's slowly transitioning to a word)
• "ID Parser" (ID isn't an acronym but an abbreviation)
• "System.IO" (two-letter acronyms like "IO" are particularly contested and Microsoft even has specific rules for them)
• XMLHttpRequest (an actual web standard name, smh. What's to be done when you have two acronyms right next to each other?)
