		Abbreviations have been traditionally written using a full stop/period to mark the part that was deleted.
		While typically abbreviations exclude the initials of short function words (such as "and", "or", "of", or "to"), they are sometimes included in acronyms to make them pronounceable.
		Initialism originally referred to abbreviations formed from initials, without reference to pronunciation, but during the middle portion of the twentieth century, when acronyms and initialisms saw more use than ever before, the word acronym was coined for abbreviations which are pronounced as a word, like "NATO" or "AIDS".

	LINGUIST List 4.494: Acronyms
		In speech, the "abbreviation" requires 6 or 8 syllables (depending on whether W is 'double-you' or 'dub-ya'), while the "long" form requires only four.
		Although once the acronym is regularly pronounced, it is subject to syllabic acronymizing, as in the 'you-dub' pronunciation of the orthographic acronym (UW) for the University of Washington.
		I suspect syllabic acronymification is less orthography-driven, although I think a major impetus behind both kinds is 'acronymy' of graphic effort and 'acronymy' of physical space, not just the desire to avoid pronouncing a few extra syllables.
