Replace AHD

 * Voting on: Replacing the name of our AHD pronunciation system with a new initialism. We have already had a preliminary vote suggesting that the initialism AHD may be misleading, but there was support for its continued use as being recognizable.  This is part one of the run-off vote.  This vote will determine whether we replace the current name AHD with a new one.  If this proposal to change the name is accepted, the replacement name will be decided in the second part of the run-off (below).

Oppose

 * Retain the AHD initialism


 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose DAVilla 18:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC) I don't think we should be inventing acronyms that aren't understood outside of this small community. I'm all for change, but not to some new unknown initialism!

Abstain

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol abstain vote.svg|20px]] Abstain H. (talk) 15:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC) I’m not a fan of the AHD system anyway, so don’t really care.  As long as I know how to format it :-)

Decision

 * Proposal is Accepted with 7 votes of support, one oppose, and one abstain. --EncycloPetey 19:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
