(From chatgpt) Acronyms: Formed from the initial letters of a phrase or series of words. Pronounced as a single word. Example: "NASA" (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and "LOL" (Laughing Out Loud). Initialisms: Also formed from the initial letters of a phrase. Pronounced letter by letter, not as a single word. Example: "FBI" (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and "HTML" (Hypertext Markup Language).
An acronym is a specific type of word. FBI is an abbreviation of a phrase. Whereas NASA is a word comprised of the initials of the phrase. "Eff Bee I" is not a word. Federal Bureau of Investigation is the phrase represented by the abbreviation. The National Aeronautic Space Administration is called NASA. Not "in ay es ay". This is the distinction that grammarly and the publisher of this video don't seem to understand. I'm greatly saddened to learn that now, in the era of "Google it" to ascertain accuracy or settle conflicting opinions; mundane as they may be, misinformation is the prevalent default. I'd much rather Google say I don't know than lie to me. Brb isn't an acronym. Neither is lmfao. RADAR is. SCUBA is. LASER is. America, you're better than that. We're better. We also were better. Words matter. Language is power. Don't be stupid.
Was that an accident at 1:43 where he said “initialisms are usually pronounced by saying each letter of the ‘acronym’ individually ?
