The acronym was formed from the first letter (usually one, and in some cases multiple) of other words, such as AIDS formed from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and laser formed from the first letter of the word. It’s a word. Optical amplification of stimulated emission.
Some of the other popular acronyms are:
UNESCO: United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (there are some acronyms related to UNO)
SAARC; South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.
AIIMS: All India Institute of Medical Science.
CAD: Computer-aided design.
COBOL: A common business-oriented language.
ESRO: European Space Research Organization.
HUDCO: Residential City Development Corporation.
JIPMER: Java Harral Institute for Medical Education
NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (USA)
(The list is endless. Readers should refer to some good general knowledge books to get a fairly complete list of acronyms.)
From the example above, we can see that the essential features of the acronym are:
1. They should only be formed from the acronyms of other words.
2. They need to form the perfect word. There should be no periods between the letters.
3. All characters must be capitalized while writing.
4. It has nothing to do with the meaning of the parent’s words. (See AIDS and Parents’ Words)
But in practice, this concept is often misused by not following any / all of the norms of acronym features. For example, in the sentence “I am MBBS”, MBBS is not an acronym because there is a period between the letters. Similarly, “Viscom” (visual communication) is not an acronym because the content is written in lowercase rather than individual letters. Neither Rs (rupee) nor Mike (Michael) are acronyms, they are just abbreviations.
I would like to record a very rough usage of this concept at the international level as well.
NEWS is an acronym for North, East, West, South and is widely said to be absolutely wrong. News is another word for a new event. Needless to say, old events are history, not news. Information is said to be collected from four directions, so the four-direction abbreviation is branded as NEWS. This is incorrect because not all letters are uppercase and amplification does not have to have the same meaning with the word omitted. Second, there are more directions than the four mentioned. News can also be obtained from space.
Another misuse of this concept is the word LIONS. People at Lions Clubs International record that Lions amplification is “freedom, intelligence, and the security of our country,” and that only God knows what it means. If the “lions” dot means the animal king lion, how are the children of the members known? As a woman at Lions clubs and their life partners, Lions? Are they women of “freedom, intelligence, and security of our country”? Another important observation is that it is Lions Clubs International, not just a nation. Therefore, it is clear that the issue of “security in our country” has spawned some words to correspond to the initials.
Therefore, Lions clubs crucify English words with immature translations. (The author of this article has been an active Lions member for 20 years and has spent a significant portion of his savings on social welfare through Lions clubs.)
Certain people have their own abbreviations and amplifications. College student elections frequently point out such uses. If the contestant’s name is Sita, select S (honesty), I (intelligent), T (talent), A (active), etc. to see if Sita is an acronym for the above four words. The poster will be displayed as. What if your opponent writes Sleeping, Intriguing, Torturous, Adamant?
Therefore, misusing this acronym concept to stop crucifying the language is my ardent attraction to English students and scholars. Acronyms are used for brevity and clarity. It may also be used as a “secret code”.Don’t misuse this concept for narrow purposes
