	:::::Me too. But to summarize the argument above: Raf spells the name of the device "Dingus" in his journal. But I am 100% certain the real, in-universe, abbreviation for "Dynamic Nuclear Generation System" is not "Dingus." It does not say "Dingus" in the operator's manual, it is not stamped "Dingus" next to the serial number on its nameplate, the government did not appropriate money to develop a "Dingus." That is just silly. I'm supposed to be the guy who has the reputation for taking things literally to the ridiculous extreme. So the facts are that we know how Raf spells the word in his journal, but what is the official name that would be used in the operator's manual? We don't know from primary canon, but when we don't have primary canon, we fall back on the captions, which spell it D.N.G.S. - [[User:Starfield\|Starﬁeld]] 19:02, 26 January 2012 (EST)		:::::Me too.
