Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Initialisms?
An ABBREVIATION is a shortened form of a written word or phrase used in place of the whole word. Some authorities consider acronyms and initialisms to be abbreviations.
An ACRONYM is a word (such as radar or snafu or NASDAQ) formed from the initial letter or first few letters of a word or a series of words (example: radar comes from radio detecting and ranging).
Acronyms are pronounced as complete words.
An INITIALISM is an acronym formed from initial letters (NYSE, AFL-CIO, NAACP, IRS, SEC).
Initialisms are prounounced letter by letter.
ITS OR IT'S?
You only use an apostrophe when combining “it is” and “it has,” e.g., “It’s (it is) delicious,” or “It’s (it has) been wonderful.”
