Message	Your source says, "Contrary to what some sources say, acronyms do not have to be pronounceable words (for example FBI is spelled out when spoken, whereas NASA is not). Some sources use the word initialism to refer to the spelled acronyms." Said "other" sources (dictionary.com, WordNet, American Heritage Dictionary) indicate that an acronym DOES in fact spell out a pronounceable word, "acronym...n : a word formed from the initial letters of a multi-word name" *shrug* [ http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=acronym ] Internet wars! ;-) SS ____________________________________________________ 2-19... always remember 2-19...
