Acronym: a word (as NATO, radar, or snafu) formed from the initial letter
or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound
term
As noted above, NATO, radar and snafu are all pronouncable without saying
"N-A-T-O, R-A-D-A-R, S-N-A-F-U", etc. So is PHP really a recursive
acronym or is acronym a word everybody likes to use to describe an
abbreviation?
Just curious.
