What is a acronym?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's an abbreviated form of something. So when you see something like N.A.S.A., that's an acronym.

Or S.W.A.T.

It's an abbreviation. For example, when you text your friend and say "LOL" it stands for "Laugh Out Loud" but it has been abbreviated. So, "LOL" would be considered an acronym.

No, acctually lol is an abbreviation, not an acronym. An acronym is something you say as a word, not as a group of letters. Lol, omg, brb and gtg are abbreviations. SWAT or NASA are acronyms because they are said as a word but also have initials that stand for something.
