The Illuminatian Academy of Innuendo (IAI) is a scholarly organization and quaternary educational institution engaging in advocacy, outreach, and education supporting the usage of innuendo in public dialogue and civil discourse. The IAI produces research, circulates journal publications, and awards advanced educational certifications.
The Academy specializes in research regarding sexual innuendo and other inferences and overtones relating to bodily functions, human anatomy, and popular taboo activities and pastimes. The organization often expands its topical reach when popular mass communication demonstrates a need for additional methods for expressing or explaining a concept. The Illuminatian Academy of Innuendo is considered the foremost authority in Illuminatia on the art of communicating using alternate expressions and the science of inventing and discovering new ways of saying things.
The IAI regularly publishes standards to which most of Illuminatia's periodicals, publishers, and broadcasters subscribe. The standards are disseminated in a physical journal that is sent to subscribing entities once per AU. The Academy has also recently made efforts to make amendments to the standards more widely available to the public through broadcasting and other mass media outreach.
The Academy receives some consideration from the Illuminatia Department of Language and Lexicology through a working relationship that allows the IAI to inform the DLL's final decisions regarding the incorporation of established innuendo from popular usage into the established common lexicon of the Glossa Communi language.
The Illuminatian Academy of Innuendo operates a small private quaternary educational concentrating on advanced levels of education for post-tertiary continuing learners. Students can earn advanced-level certifications in the language and lexicology of applied innuendo, double entendre research, and creative communications. Students of the academy engage in rigorous research and study in allusion and insinuation in spoken and written Glossa Communi. The education wing of the academy accepts a limited number of students typically numbering just above 1,000 pupils. Slots for a position as a quaternary scholar at the academy are highly sought-after, competitive, and open only to graduates of a tertiary educational institution such as a university. Successful graduates from the IAI find themselves in a position to acquire lucrative employment in the mass communication, linguistics, and comedy disciplines.
