--- Quote from: Akima on 11 Jan 2016, 16:29 ---Most people don't know what acronyms are. An acronym is a spoken word made up of initials, like laser, radar, Unesco, Qantas, eftpos and so on. Strings of initials that you pronounce as individual letters, like GPS, ATM, ILO, BBC, IRC, DRM etc. are initialisms. Most TLAs are not acronyms at all.

Language changes with usage, I'm pretty sure so many people have used acronym to mean initialism that it's not really even wrong anymore.

I don't know, 'not even wrong' is pretty bad, too. :V
