But you don't know the difference between and 'acronym' and an 'initialism'.
It can either be an abbreviation or an acronym, depending on whether you choose to spell the word out or pronouncing it like words typically are pronounced.
Yes, but how are you pronouncing it? Are you saying the individual letters or saying it as a whole word? You said 'acronym' so you must say it as a whole word to qualify as that.
