the best friends you’ll never have

Who is ANM? Is it… Ann Nadezhda Martin? Ann Nelson Martin? Ann Nicholas Martin? Or Ann None-of-the-Above Martin?

Answer: the last one!

See, Ann’s middle name is Matthews. So she is Ann M. Martin, or AMM. Perhaps ANM is a bastardization of “Ann M.,” but seriously ANM is said, at least in my brain, as “A-N-M.” It’s just incorrect.

Sadly this trend has really taken off in the BSC fandom. I am here to say no, it’s wrong, don’t do it. At least not on this blog. I am leading the crusade to give Ann back her proper initials. Say it with me: “A-M-M.”

I was going to do a follow up post to my last one, where I said that basically the whole BSC is rich, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.

You’re not alone in being annoyed by this :-). I don’t mind the ‘Ann M.’ nickname, but ANM just isn’t the right way of writing it.

@DSharpe113: it may have started with Tiff and she can write whatever she wants on her blog, but now so many people do it and really, there’s just no logic to it.
