== Mention "Ambiguity" in the linguistic advocation == |

DC doesn't stand for anything and it hasn't since 1977. The name of the company is DC Comics inc. It was founded as Detective Comics inc. in 1937 but changed the name in '77 to DC Comics. Therefore I don't believe this should be listed under "Examples" I think it should be omitted or maybe moved under a new tab labeled something like "Examples of Misattributions of RAS". ] (]) 04:46, 2 July 2023 (UTC) |

'Detective Comics' is the company name |

Comics are a product they sell |

So, no, DC comics is NOT a redundant acronym |

== Should PUBG: Battlegrounds join the list? == |

''PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds'', after years of being unofficially shortened to "PUBG", has been officially renamed '']'' in mid-2021. |

It's both a very blatant example ("PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds") and a fairly recent one, showing this practice is nowhere near over. ] (]) 08:17, 25 July 2023 (UTC) |

::There is that does just that. (But this )<p>But beyond establishing this as a clear example, the question may arise from some as to whether any more additions need to be added. Several years ago (6? 7? ...dunno), someome determined that the list should be capped at four entries. I'm not sure if there was a consensus for that, but regardless, ], especially after so many years. If people are in favour of adding a few more examples, then so be it.

:::i don't think having a cap this low would work now, because there are a few more than 4 notable examples |
