abbreviation - это сокращение нескольких слов, а не словА

Ah! And we also have ACRONYMS, which are comprised of the first letter of several words: EU = European Union, NATO, UNESCO, etc.

grumblerдобавил комментарий 5 years ago

I know, but I think acronym is not JUST a combination of the first letters.
It's a special type of an abbreviation that is pronounced like a word. If so, I don't understand why EU is an acronym.

Hmm...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym
"Although the word acronym is often used to refer to any abbreviation formed from initial letters, some dictionaries and usage commentators define acronym to mean an abbreviation that is pronounced as a word..."

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •добавил комментарий 5 years ago

That’s true. We say EU [ию], but UNESCO [юнэскоу]
