    Acronyms are tricky! Make sure to double-check.

    Those aren’t acronyms. They are initials. Acronyms are pronounced as a word, like SCOTUS.

    @6 you mean RBS and RBC are not pronounced “Rubs” and “Air Baissé?”

    Behind the scenes, however, the 67-year-old Kaden has emerged as the most influential adviser to Citi CEO Vikram Pandit and a key conduit to the Obama Administration.

    Of course it was RBC — Canadian banks are more stable. After all, with RBS, who wants to be halfway thru filming and have your “set” disappear into bankruptcy? Or have the continuity people going apeshit over mid-scene logo changes?

    #11, maybe RBS would be “Ribs” and RBC would be “Rubik.” An expensive dinner and a cube. There must be a punchline there somewhere.
