I had realized over the years of working as an engineer, that people like to throw around the word 'acronym' whenever there is an abbreviation for something. The term three-letter acronym (TLA) became common, and was used simply because there was a three-letter abbreviation. But, just because it's an abbreviation doesn't make it an acronym. In fact, I don't think there are very many three-letter acronyms and I only show one, and it's really used incorrectly. Anyway, I put together the following page to help correct this major societal faux pas. Hopefully, it's in time to prevent any international conflicts.

Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Initialisms
