Some Acronyms
An acronym is an abbreviation which is formed from the initial components in a phrase or a word. Usually these components are individual letters. Thank you to all those who have bought these to my attention; amongst those are Anna Taylor, Dina Cohen, Godfrey Devereux, Joseph Goldstein, Judith Lasater, Laura Vallis, Mark Singleton, Maitripushpa Bois.
I know that there are many more – there could be a growing list of acronyms (GLA)…
