This article starts off saying it's about a road, and veers off into talking about bidding. Terribly confusing! If this is really about some bridge-related matter, it should start by saying so... -- Oliver P. 23:23, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I found the bit about the road very useful and not at all confusing. It should stay because it explains the origin of the name straight away. Prior to this I assumed it was an acronym. ZoeEGrace (talk) 12:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I changed "ACOL" to "Acol" because it is not an acronym. EricK 21:54, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Responding to one of a suit with one of a new suit requires four cards in the suit, not five, and I have therefore reverted to the earlier wording. For example, if partner opens 1H and you have AQxx x xxxx xxxx, you will respond 1S in case partner has 4 cards in both majors or 5 hearts and 4 spades.

I'm using Firefox on OSX and I can't see the "suit" symbols - all I see are coloured vertical or horizontal bars (e.g. 2| instead of 2<heart symbol>). This makes the page impossible to understand. Can anyone tell me how I can fix my browser? It works with Safari but I'd like for it to also work on Firefox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.138.27 (talk) 13:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
