Initialism, you're right on, is the word I need. Thank you.

But I don't like that word! Bwah. Sometimes I think it might be okay to use the "wrong" word, when most of your readers will still understand what you mean.

Then I want to rend my clothing and wail loudly. But that's pretty much an every day occurence, so what the heck.

Thanks kitty!
