It just occurred to me that when we talk about UAS we really are misnaming the condition...to our discredit. Ukulele Aquisition Syndrome makes it sound as if there were something wrong with us, personally, rather than our circumstances.
So, I believe that to be politically correct, and in synch with the present trend where even the implication that one might be held responsible for ones behavior is heavily frowned upon, we should immediately replace all instances of UAS with UDD.
Ukulele Deficiency Disorder more accurately places blame upon the circumstances, that is, the simple fact that we do not yet have enough ukuleles. Each purchase of another ukulele becomes not "succumbing to our syndrome" - but a positive affirmation of our heroic determination to overcome a disorder from which we suffer through no fault of our own.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it...
