An acronym uses the first letter or letters from the words in a phrase or name to form an abbreviated term. Examples are USA, UK, FDR, JFK, FBI, CIA, MIT, IBM, AARP, CPU, DVD, and LOL. Some acronyms have multiple meanings.
This is different from other abbreviations, which are simply letters from a word used as a shorter form : MA or Mass. for Massachusetts, "etc." for et cetera, prof for professor, or Mr. for mister.
Both acronyms and phonetic abbreviations figure prominently in "textspeak" (txt-speak, SMS language) which is shorthand language used in texting messages: BRB, BFF, U (you), 2 (to), THX (thanks) and CU (see you).
Acronyms also include the construction of new words from the initial letters of other words e.g. scuba (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) and laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) and radar(Radio Detection and Ranging). This form is distinct from an abbreviation as it must be pronounced as a word not a series of letters.
