Abbreviations and Acronyms
Abbreviations and acronyms are both used extensively throughout the site. A glossary of the abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms used. They are marked using the following definition.
An acronym (pronounced AK-ruh-nihm, from Greek acro- in the sense of extreme or tip and onyma or name) is an abbreviation of several words in such a way that the abbreviation itself forms a word. According to Webster's, the word doesn't have to already exist; it can be a new word. Webster's cites "snafu" and "radar", two terms of World War Two vintage, as examples. Implicit is the idea that the new word has to be pronounceable and ideally easy to remember.
