What is an acronym?

An acronym is a short word formed from the first letters of a longer phrase, such as NASA from National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It makes a long name quicker to say and write.

When turned on, it leaves out the common short words a, an, the, of, and and so the acronym uses only the meaningful words. For example, Library of Congress becomes LC instead of LOC.
