Acronyms

[نسترنگار]

Following the other topic, Creativity and New Words, here we're going to write Acronyms. So, WHAT IS AN ACRONYM? Take OMG, AFK and BTW as Acronyms. Write one Acronym each time and explain what it really means.There are many, many acronyms in a wide range but their main usage is in chats.

"An acronym is an abbreviation formed from the initial components in a phrase or a word. Usually these components are individual letters (as in NATO or laser) or parts of words or names (as in Benelux)."

OK me first:

UCL: University College London
CMIIW: Corrcet Me If I'm Wrong
GFU: Good For You​

پاسخ : Acronyms

Yes it is possible to find out what an acronyms means by a simple search but there are two things; One, how can you search for an acronym when you didn't know it exists? I mean, someone has to use it here so that others can search for it since there are a lot of acronyms.so why not start from here and then try using them in other topics and two, we are going to learn them. I don't think it's a problem because it's the English Forum anyways and we want to learn and learning acronyms is part of English forum writing, The part which they don't teach in schools​
