I'm with Norm on this: "ID" is stupid. "I" stands for "i" and "D" stands for "dentification".
I don't think that's an acronym, it's just an abbreviation
But then why is it pronounced "eye dee" as if each letter stood for a separate word, and not "eyed" as if it was a short hand, like every other abbreviation?
