Re: if (text = FIRST) text = [I]FIRST[/I];

If I wrote FIRST on a essay for an English class, the professor would either assume I'm talking about a movie, a novel, or an ship, or would just mark it as a wrong use of italicization. However if I left it as FIRST, it would be pretty clear that it is a acronym, and through context, an organization.

I will follow FIRST's guidelines, as long as they conform with those of the English language.
