Who knows what ACA stands for?

Assume you didn't know that an ACA is an Associate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). What would you find out if you looked online?

Here is just a selection:
  • The Affordable Care Act ACA), formally known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and colloquially known as Obamacare,
  • Ambulance Care Assistant - this role involves the transportation of non-emergency patients to and from hospital and clinic appointments.
  • ACA is the representative body for UK consulting actuaries 
  • ACA Sports Limited, a UK based online sports shop stocking Football Boots, Football Shirts, Team Kit, Footballs, Shin Guards, Goalkeeper Gloves and Clothing 
  • Association for Continence Advice (ACA) - organisation for health and social care professionals concerned with the progression of care for continence. Methinks someone is taking the proverbial! 
  • Adult Children of Alcoholics 
  • Australian Croquet Association and, confusingly, the Australian Cricketers' Association
  • Asynchronous Criticality Avoidance 
  • All Calls Answered is a common meaning for ACA on online dating sites, such as Craigslist, Tinder, Zoosk and Match.
  • Alcohol, Condoms & Attitude are apparently the three factors necessary for any episode of The Jersey Shore.
