ALE is Adult Lego Enthusiast, a newer (and preferred by at least some) term
over
AFOL. It's easier to pronounce as an acronym, sounds less stilted when you
say
it in words, and is generally more accurate too. See
<http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=50836> for the thread where it was
proposed.
It's also in the Wikipedia entry, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFOL>.
Easier to pronounce is a good thing. Now all we need is one that is easier
to pronounce than MOC (which apparently some people called "mock" and others
call M-O-C).
