Ahem, if we;re going to get pedantic

Most readers probably know that an acronym is an invented word made up of the initial letters or syllables of other words, like NASA or NATO. Fewer probably know that an initialism is a type of acronym that cannot be pronounced as a word, but must be read letter-by-letter, like FBI or UCLA.

German had the word Akronym as early as 1921, meaning “a new word made up of initials.”

Americans adopted the word with the English spelling acronym in the 1940s. These dated citations from the OED show that from 1940 to the 21st century, what some speakers now prefer to call initialisms have been called acronyms since the word was adopted into English:

1947 The acronym DDT…trips pleasantly on the tongue and is already a household byword.

1975 The puns on the acronym, ‘CIA’, were spawned by recent disclosures about the intelligence agency.

1985 Called by the acronym SCSD (Schools Construction System Development).

2008 The acronym TSS—Tout Sauf Sarkozy (‘Anything But Sarkozy’).

If it is important to you to distinguish between acronyms (NATO, NASA) and initialisms (FBI, TGIF) then by all means, do so. But if you are speaking to or writing for a general audience, it’s not an error to generalize all words and labels created from initials or parts of words under the broad term acronym.

There is a little bit of ivory tower in you...isn't there?

*I say this with no unkindness intended. I work in the ivory tower.

There's a joke here, but I'm pretty sure you don't see it, Dras. :D
