ACRONYM, ABBREVIATION, INITIALISM.
Read to learn 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
VISA is actually not an acronym or abbreviation. It’s a Backronym.
A backronym is when people take a word or phrase that already exists and try to force a full sentence into its letters. The word "Visa" comes from the Latin phrase "charta visa" meaning "paper that has been seen." It’s a noun.
Here is a short lesson for those who care to read.
Most people use "Acronym" and "Abbreviation" like they’re the same thing, but in reality, they aren’t even on the same street.
Think of an Abbreviation as a word haircut. You’re just cutting the tail off to save space, but you still pronounce the full name.
Examples: Gov. Sanwo-Olu, Gen. Musa, or Prof. Soyinka.
An Acronym, however, is a new identity. The first letters of a group of words fuse together to create a brand new word you can actually pronounce.
Examples: JAMB, LASPOTECH, or NAPTIP. You don't spell them out letter-by-letter, you say them as one single word.
If you have to call out the letters one by one, like EFCC, FCT, or DSS, that’s technically an Initialism.
Shortened word = Abbreviation (Dr.)
Pronounced like a word = Acronym (UNILAG)
Pronounced as letters = Initialism (N-P-F)
Stop calling everything an abbreviation.
Class don end.
INALEGWU.

@boomesportsid Mental issue, keliatan nembaknya geter semua. Beda pas group stage posisi underdog mainnya lepas jadi bagus dan rapi. Ketika diposisikan jd unggulan langsung ambyar. NT dah

@AtheistByte @VALO2ASIA Valid, tbh the 3rd spot is very open to any other team based on their performance on the d-day

@yonathan_geomd @VALO2ASIA hmm, i agree BME and DRX, but not T1, they look shaky... maybe GENG or RRQ for the 3rd spot
