ABBREVIATION🆚ACRONYM
This is a fine distinction that some consider nitpicking. Terms such as FBI, HMO, and NAACP, although widely called acronyms, are actually abbreviations.
The difference is in how they are spoken.
🔸An abbreviation, also called an initialism, is pronounced letter by letter.
🔹An acronym is pronounced as if it were a word.
🔸The abbreviation FBI is pronounced “eff-bee-eye.”
🔹The acronym NASA is pronounced “nassa.”
