IAC has basically stopped treating its name as an acronym and now just calls itself IAC, but it originally stood for InterActiveCorp.

Thanks so much! I have absolutely no idea how I missed that...:)
IAC Interactive which is the parent company of most large online US dating sites (among other online properties).
