It's pretty simple.Originally Posted by orcutt989
An acronym is a pronouceable word, like RADAR. If it is something like SFA (Scottish Football Association) then it is an abbreviation. The lines seem to be pretty blurred, particularly for Americans. But please don't think posting three excerpts from an online dictionary (without sourcing it ffs) proves anything other than you know how to use Google.

Oh I missed the rest of your post. Nice edit.Originally Posted by orcutt989
Thanks for proving my point further. Check the examples in your acronym definition. Also, as said before, acronyms are abbreviations but vice-versa.

About Google search, learning to use it is a must,
it is the tool for information.
Allthought as they get paid for results etc. saturation it still works and it covers
a lot of sites and stuff.
Also, Wiki is pretty good too.
