Abbreviations and Acronyms

Abbreviations, which are shortened versions of longer words, can be great time savers… if you know what they mean.  Otherwise, they can simply look like a confusing jumble of letters. Acronyms, or words derived from the first letter of a series of other words, are closely related to abbreviations and can also create confusion for those not in-the-know.
