Name changes should include acronym checks

The Iowa House approved changing the name Iowa Department of Elder Affairs to Department on Aging. Think about that for a moment.

Those who are on-the-ball will quickly figure out that the acronym for new name would be D.O.A. Interestingly, some older lawmakers didn't like the acronym while younger people thought it was hilarious.

This has been an Ernest contribution.
