== 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)

Mention "Ambiguity" in the linguistic advocation
