Acronyms

Acronyms have to be "pronounceable" (e.g. LASER, AIDS, NATO).

If you just say the initials (e.g. DFTBA, LOL, CEO, FBI, etc.) it isn't an acronym. It's an initialism.

There is some debate that they are the same thing, but I think it's important in this day-and-age of our computer shorthand to distinguish between the two! :)
