Can you start a sentence with an acronym?

Yes, you can start a sentence with an acronym, but it would be better if you spelled out the entire acronym so it isn't actually an acronym. Example: N.A.S.A. decided to retire the space shuttle after many years of service. Example Two: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has decided to retire the space shuttle after many years of service. It sounds better if you spell out the entire acronym, shown in example two, rather than start it out with an acronym, shown in example one.

What is it when you have a word for every letter in a word or name?

The word is anagram. Its not an anagram its an acronym! An anagram is when a word can make many different words. For example, the name "Count Olaf" as sen in The Series of Unfortunate Events holds such words as "fan" and "an". An example of an acronym is following: C- Cool O- Outstanding U- Unbelievable N- Not A Horrid man T- Terrific O- Outstanding L- Lying Seems Terrible To Him A- Amazing F- Fantastic As you can see, an anagram and an acronym are two very different things! By the way, the acronym above is not necessarily true, but merely an example.
