Am I the only one who thinks of Lear Siegler (sp?) when I hear ADM?
No, you're not alone, I was thinking the same. I have a hard time
following discussions where US-internal acronyms are used all along
without any further explanation.
The USA is not a small country, and anymore, it seems like we
primarily consist of corporations. [ugh] It'd be incorrect to assume
that everyone here has heard of every little (or even big) company. I
myself don't think I could note a single agricultural company by name,
because I don't give a crap about agriculture.
When I read "ADM", I wondered what terminals had to do with whale oil.

Knowing the
TLAs I know, I assumed ADM stood for "Archer Daniels
Midland",
an agricultural products company.
Yes, that ADM - the happy corn people.
