Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used to sweeten a bowl of Corn Flakes with a Frosted Flake. I'm handicapped like that.

It's not really that close. It's an initialism. Which leaves one with little or no style guidelines--initials are the case of the original words, except when they're not.

Holy crap, that was weird.
So anyway, school's over. I have to go in today to finish cleaning out my room and turn in my keys (donwanna!) and then... I'm done with that school. Freaky.
