Okay, I accept that. The earlier post suggested that an initialism was a *different* entity from an acronym. Rather, an initialism is an acronym, but an acronym (based on pronunciation) is not always an initialism. They are not mutually exclusive. Since initialisms are acronyms, the ACRONYM element would still apply to them. :-) ____________________________________ Rob Emenecker @ Hairy Dog Digital www.hairydogdigital.com Please note: Return e-mail messages are only accepted from discussion groups that this e-mail address subscribes to.
