Actually, acronyms are abbreviations that can be pronounced as a word. ‘STD’ cannot be pronounced as a single word, as each letter is said individually, unlike ‘SCUBA.’ Therefore, it is not an acronym. You are not the grammar police—I am.
Actually, definitions change based on Societal Norms. For example, when I Google it, I get noun noun: acronym; plural noun: acronyms “abbreviations and acronyms are necessary in chat and SMS communication” Doesn’t say it has to sound like a word. My source is the Oxford Dictionary what’s yours? 🤓☝️
When you use actual science words it is. Chemistry for example you gotta pick either long words or math equations
Ok yeah that’s hard. I’m more of an Astronomy person. but I do like math when it’s not forced. I’m game dev with 2y experience I use math a lot
