Should we demand to have it removed on the grounds it is
not an acronym? :-) :-)

or at least spelled right Ada (one of the other entries
has a small d)

Actually, I'd say its a help that folks searching for the meaning of the acronym
will be told right up front that it isn't one (the entry starts w/ "[not an
acronym]")

>or at least spelled right Ada (one of the other entries

I'd go for that. 

On the plus side, this site gives us 2 pages of nifty new things to pretend we
think "ADA" posters are talking about. We should each pick a different one, to
amush the next hapless newbie with. I'll take "Action for Dysphasic Adults".

How about "Agoraphobic Dipsomaniacs of America"?
