I agree with Daniel.  The first thing anyone wants to know about
a new acronym is "what does it stand for?"

I think we should retrofit it to be something like Language for
Evaluation and Nomination (Kreatively Adaptable -- Supposedly --
and Designed for Automatic Yevaluation).

Okay.  So I'm not good at acronyms.  It took me TWO MONTHS to come
up with "AWARE Center".
