i live in a world of acronyms, initialisms, and alphabetisms. what's with these little creations? i decided to do a little investigative research and whatd'ya know, the use of the word acronym was formed by bell laboratories, formerly american telephone and telegraph company (aka at&t). guess bell grew tired of their own alphabetism--based on one's inability to pronounce at&t as a word? just a thought--and now we have a little word--that would be acronym--that describes the ridiculousness of abbreviating groups of word to make them pronounceable. oh this is making my head spin! so let's take a look at the acronyms, initialisms, and alphabetisms that have crossed my airwaves in very recent days...
