Chat Acronyms A-Z

Think people are mis-understanding and mis-using "acrynom"

ac·ro·nym ˈakrəˌnim

noun
an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word (e.g. ASCII, NASA ).

examples:-

FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) is an initialism. AIDS is an acronym, while HIV is an initialism. URL, when pronounced as three separate letters, "U-R-L," is an initialism for Uniform Resource Locator, but many people pronounce it as "earl" or even "yurl," making it an acronym

Anthill, I'm afraid an unpronouncible initializing an entire sentence is not an acronym. but nice try

The creater of this... bizarre discussion listed it as an acronym! I have to pee!

You are very strange. And after reading several of your posts, I believe you to be a troll. You make no sense whatsoever and your comments are ridiculous.

Please read the first post! It said ABITHIWTIDB A bird In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush! It is listed as an acronym, so I called it as it was.

I still stand by what I said,
1. whoever listed that as an acronym was mistaken;
2. it is still unpronounceable;
3. they didn't get their letters correct.
