Huh, interesting. In my mind an abbreviation was either a truncation or maybe a portmanteau. Didn’t think it was an accurate description of acronyms or initialisms.

Also I said ‘actually’ in my response, please forgive me. I had an upwards lilt in my head voice which would have negated any condescension in person, but on reading what I said, I just came across as a regular, pendant fuckwit.
