Also:

 

Canon: Something that is actually part of lore.

 

Cannon: A huge weapon that blows things up.

Fussy:

 

Canon: a body of ecclesiastic law, and by analogy anything else that is considered "definitive". But the origin of the word is in the laws of the (Catholic) Church.

This all goes to show why you shouldn't use an acronym like OP and expect everyone to automatically know what you mean.

The correct form is to spell out the entire word, such as Operation, the first time and put the acronym in brackets afterwards if you intend to use the acronym later in the text.

For example:

I was doing an Operation (OP) tonight and....... during this OP, I .... so the OP failed.

I was playing Team Fortress Classic (TFC) and....

etc.

To the OP, I was running my OP with an OP OP doing and OP, but the OP boss was also OP, but that was ok because my OP OP was more OP than the OP OP boss.
