As I said, that is not correct. Language is how people use it, and people use the term acronym to describe all of these things. This is not a technical discussion.
I know it may be difficult to imagine, but if people call a screwdriver a hammer, that’s what it becomes. Language evolves and it’s biological. It’s really bizarre that y’all struggle with this so much.

@[email protected] is right.
An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a single word.
An abbreviation is a shortened version of a word or phrase used to save time and space, avoid repetition, or follow convention.
All acronyms are abbreviations, but not all abbreviations are acronyms.
SMH and ATM are both abbreviations. NASA, radar, laser etc. are all acronyms.

SMH my head.

Ok, but you’re still technically (and factually) wrong.
