Also Known As Dada

I'm a total Eediot (said with pure Ren flair). I may have know this beofre, but last night I just realizes that aka or AKA stood for "also know as." I think when I was in kindergarten someone said AKA was an alias for your real name. I didn't know what an alias was at that time, but I think it stuck in my head. I don't know why this suddenly came to me in a moment of clarity last night, but I found it quite disturbing. It is possible that I have known all along and was just not articulating it, but really how many people ever spell out also known as? People use ASAP all the time, so much that it has become a word itself, but they still spell it out sometimes. Well back to work.
