<p>Got to be one of my biggest pet peeves. And US Weekly got it wrong today in a story about Charlie Sheen.</p>

<p>[Charlie</a> Sheen reportedly doing rehab at home - Entertainment - Celebrities - TODAYshow.com](<a href=“http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/41359242/ns/today-entertainment/]Charlie”>http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/41359242/ns/today-entertainment/)</p>

<p>Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act</p>

<p>Get it right!</p>

<p>Good luck with this…when you conquer this battle, can you work on FAFSA not FASFA?!? Even our high school guidance counselor says it wrong…aarrggh!</p>

<p>nicksmtmom - if one person on CC starts to get it right because of this thread, I will feel I have accomplished something!</p>

<p>But that’s pretty bad about FAFSA v. FASFA - you’d think a high school guidance counselor would know better. Obviously this counselor has not had any kids apply to college yet!</p>

Consider yourself successful - I am quite sure I have mangled this acronym (recently too). But I will remember this thread and use it properly now!!</p>

<p>I like HIPPO better…or maybe HARPO.</p>

<p>Lol, i hate to admit it but I typo that one sometimes. I know what it stands for and I know what the acronym is, but sometimes I type it so fast it comes out wrong. There are certain things I search for at work with that in the search and whenever it comes up with 0 results I check my spelling and naturally I have it wrong again!</p>

<p>newenglandmother - I guess I can retire from CC now! (not)</p>

<p>ellemenope - I’ve probably seen HIPPO, too! But this was a national publication. Geez.</p>
