"Peter Duniho" wrote: My dictionary doesn't say anything about pronouncing an acronym as a word. Abbreviation: a shortened form of a word or phrase used for brevity Acronym: A word formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term. Did you look up the definition of "word"? How is "DME" a "word"? As Ron implies, "VOR" *could* be considered a "word", but the vast majority of us spell it out and don't consider it to be a "word". Then what do you think it is? It's not an abbreviation and you apparently don't think it's an acronym. So, what is it? -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate |
