h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

One message, message one: BEEP! Oh drat you're not here. Oh yeah you said you wouldn't be here didn't you; well, when you get back......


Two messages, message two: BEEP! Damn those time limits on these things; anyway I just called to say hello but since you're not here that's mute isn't it. This is going be a question for the century are you ready.......

Three messages, message three: BEEP! Oh, fiddlesticks, anyway is an anagram a thing like N.A.S.A. or is it the kaled/dalek thing? Well, that's all so have a nice away from home time!

No doubt several people have taken great pleasure in correcting you here (a lot of people seem to like doing that) but the difference is this:

Anagram: two words (sentances) which use the same letters but in a difference order eg kaled, dalek

Acronym: A word (sound) in which each letter is the beginning of a word in a phrase eg Tardis = Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.

Hope that helps.

Yes, thank goodness, you have no idea how many hairs you've saved from ripping beacuse I'd used to get annoyed by the episode guide and the postersfor there misnaming of words and now I've found it wasn't misnaming! Oh, I don't need to pull hair, thank you, oh, thank you!
