I have a very serious question to ask…

Why do Alan and Mitchell call the Still Secure, After All These Years blog and podcast “SSATY” instead of “SSAATY”?
Is there a conspiracy against the letter “A”?
Do they not like the letter “A”? I would think not since it starts Alan’s first name and also starts Mitchell’s last name.
Does it help Alan cut costs to leave out the extra “A”? Maybe so since he has recently announced a very successful quarter at his blog.
Did the blatant pursuit of fame and fortune drive the “A” away?
Did the “A” drive away in a cab after Alan pelted it with racist comments?
I should probably just ask Alan and Mitchell, but that would be too easy.

Yea, you got me. It has been corrected.

Technically the acronym should be SAATY. StillSecure is actually one word. So it does sound like prejudice of the letter A. It sounds like they are “S” supremest.

Michael- a serious question demands a serious answer. The reason the second “A” is dropped is due to an obscure grammar rule that you cannot have a double vowel immediately after a double consonant. So with the double S, we had to drop one of the A’s. We also like to think we leave off the last “A” for a-holes, to try to keep them away from our blog.
