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.
