Huh, interesting. In my mind an abbreviation was either a truncation or maybe a portmanteau. Didn’t think it was an accurate description of acronyms or initialisms.
Also I said ‘actually’ in my response, please forgive me. I had an upwards lilt in my head voice which would have negated any condescension in person, but on reading what I said, I just came across as a regular, pedant fuckwit.
No worries at all. Both are words I hardly every use, and I was happy to be corrected if I was wrong.
The written word can be misinterpreted easily since it doesn’t easily carry the audible nuances of the spoken word, or the visual cues of the speaker. We’re always learning hey.
