Don't you like acronyms that are made into nouns that are made into verbs?

Yes, when it makes sense. It's All-American (and in a way, All-English), as opposed to France where they have a government-controlled language and levy fines if official communications stray from the officially condoned "pure" French language.

If doublespeak is ever imposed globally it won't make much headway in the USA!

At least they're trying to keep it French and not encouraging Spanish and Arabic (not so sure about the last one).
