Actually Jenny G, Bobad,and GIok are the only ones who have actually written acronyms, Theothers are abbreviations or initials. An acronym is a word that is composed of the firt letters of a series of words describing something, Radar, Laser, Fubar, Sonar, Snafu, etc. I know it isaminor point, but I just heard a program onNPR about this exact thing last weekend.
