CCCC?

I may be more than averagely dense, but the American LOVE of abbreviations sometimes drive me nuts. Or can somebody in a quick and simple manner tell me what the CCCC stands for in these conventions?

Update: I found it - Conference on College Composition and Communication. Took me at least 15 minutes to track down.

Thanks Corvuse :) I assume the last one, since I have some really neat cookie cutters I'd like to show off.

...og så til noe litt annet: Jeg heter også T.E.Mortensen! Tror du kanskje at vi er noen slags positiv/negativ bisarroversjoner av hverandre!? Og er du med meg på tanken om at muligheten absolutt er til stede for at det ganske kosmos ville opphøre i en voldsom implosjon dersom vi skulle komme for nær hverandre? -Dersom du også er venstrehendt slik som meg, kommer jeg til å riste av ren frykt..!?

Ta det helt med ro. Universet overlevde to Torill Mortensen i samme bygd, det kommer nok også til å tåle to T. E. Mortensen. Og jeg er heller ikke venstrehendt. Det utelukker selvsagt ikke at en av oss kan være en Bizarroversjon.

Hmm. So does your interest mean we might see you in Chicago next year? (He said, hopefully.)

Well, Dennis managed to manouver me elegantly into his masterplan for a panel in Chicago, so if the panel is accepted and I manage to get funding for the trip, yes, Chicago next. But this post was due to an article I am writing on weblog literacies, to be published in January 2006, in a handbook on new media literacy. Needed an example of the venue for edu-bloggers in regular conferences :)

Acronyms are not useful at all when you don't understand what they mean. Sometimes you need a little redundancy to communicate, and this is one of those cases where a little more time spent on the sender side would have saved a LOT of time on the receiver side.

Dennis Jerz and Torill Mortensen presenting together? I am so there.

Show up mike, and it will turn into an intellectual blog-jam to echo through cyberspace!
