Proposal: If It’s Good Enough for NASA

Reached quorum 6 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan.

In “Backronym”, add a paragraph after the first:-

The words “and”, “at”, “for”, “in”, “of”, “or” and “the” are known as the Filler Words. If a Filler Word appears in the title of a Story Post in lower case, then it is not considered to be a word for the purposes of matching that title to an Acronym, or counting the number of words in that title.

@Bucky: I’m not sure if your comment is a valid vote. The rules say “a voting icon” and your comment included more than one. Nothing in “Revisions Allowed” allows you to use the arrow in conjunction with another icon in the same comment, as far as I can tell.

Please let me know if you disagree and why.

[Jonathan] “A Wordsmith‘s Vote on a Votable Matter is the last valid voting icon that they have used in any comment on that Votable Matter.” covers it.

Thanks, Kevan. For some reason in my head I was thinking it was last comment instead of last icon, but that works.
