	Pseudo-acronym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because these are also recursive acronyms – ones where part of the acronym expands to the original acronym – and can thus never be fully expanded, some prefer to refer to recursive acronyms as pseudo-acronyms instead of anti-acronyms.
		An anti-acronym is an acronym or other abbreviation which officially stands for something, but pretends not to, such as phrases which paradoxically deny their own existence.
		The EFFIE is an advertising award that appears to be an acronym, but it comes from the word "effectiveness", which is a good measure of an advertisement.

	Acronym and initialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acronyms and initialisms are abbreviations, such as NATO, laser, and LED, written as the initial letter or letters of words, and pronounced on the basis of this abbreviated written form.
		When an acronym is part of a function in computing that is conventionally written in lowercase, it is common to use an apostrophe to pluralize or otherwise conjugate the token.
		Sometimes these acronyms made sense but most of the time, they were words incongruously crammed together for the mere purpose of obtaining a catchy acronym, traditionally a heroic sounding one for the good guys and an appropriately menacing one for the bad guys.

	Accessify Forum: Screen Readers and CAPS
		BBC is not an acronym, it's an abbreviation (more specifically as initialism, but there's no separate element type for those).
		Whilst I appreciate that there has to be a point when, as authors, we can not support browser behaviour that runs contrary to the specs, this is a browser that has at least 70% of the graphical browser market and which is also the recommended rendering engine for the most common screen reader.
		Given a choice of applying the specifications rigidly or ensuring that elements within a page have the greatest possible access using the (currently) most popular browser, I'll go for the latter, every time and use even thought the grammarian in me insists that 'BBC' is actually an abbreviation.

	Creative tries to redefine "Podcast" - Signal vs. Noise (by 37signals)
		Backronym is “a type of acronym that is constructed to match the letters of a actual word appropriate in some fashion to the topic at hand”.

		The acronym used everywhere for Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is YKK.
		All I was doing was drawing a parallel between the "name" Y2K as a harbinger of the "end of the world as we know it" and the acronym created by the title of this series as seen from the context of the 1990's when it was started.

	The Choctaw Expression Okeh and the Americanism Okay
		The question "For what English language phrase using standard English and documented the public record was 'O.K.' first used as an acronym?" was, of course, a perfectly valid question, and one that civilized, English speaking, liberally educated scholars could deal with very comfortably.
		Read's discovery of "Old Kinderhook" seems to be the first standard English language phrase reduced to the acronym "O.K" in the public record.
		And while Heflin had argued vigorously for a cautious acceptance of the 1815 Richardson citation, it is evident in publications and private correspondence that he never ever considered the possiblity that the "OK" might have ever been anything other than an acronym for an English language expression.
