I'm still juggling this until it goes beyond just being a cute idea... I may be some time! TLA can be either Three Letter Acronym or Three Letter Abbreviation. Strangely enough there've been a few TLA songs written, but nothing really comprehensive. Mine is in a Pacific Island style, as the word "Tielei" sounds (to me) like it would come from there. It isn't quite finished, as I'm determined to make it all make sense, in a pointless kind of a way. I've avoided countries, companies and organisations on the whole, as that would make it toooo long! If there's any obvious omissions, let me know. Have you noticed that POW and LBW both have the same number of syllables as their meanings?
