Note that "UW" is a very overloaded term:

- University of Washington

- University of Waterloo

- University of Wisconsin

- University of Wyoming

etc.

But we all know which UW is the right one :)

[acchow]

Can't tell if this is clever sarcasm or you mean Waterloo...

[jcagalawan]

Americans will probably think of Washington first.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. No one knows what each other is talking about when saying "UW". Looking at chris_va's profile, it appears he was talking about the University of Washington. Most of the US probably thinks of UW that way, though in Silicon Valley I've met a lot more people from the University of Waterloo than from the University of Washington.
