Markos good to see you back in good form. A helpful list of acronyms I will print out and keep in my wallet.

Thanks, steve
 
acronym technically is an abbreviation that spells out a word. e. g.

SCUBA
LASER


Initialisms are like:

NMNA
AFAIK
IMHO
IBM
AMD
 
Looks to me like the only difference is acronyms are pronounceable made up words, while initialisms are unpronounceable.

Unless they are French initialisms. The French can pronounce any random combination of letters simpley by making letters disappear, i.e. ignoring them, or changing the sound they make.

Why I could never learn or speak French.
