Hi everyone,
I've learned that there are acronyms and initialisms such as:-
NATO - The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (an acromyn pronounced as a word)
and
CIA - Central Intelligence Agency (an initialism where each letter is pronounced)
When I see a list, how do I know what is an acronym and what is an initialism to pronounce it correctly?
Thanks!
