Acronyn is defined as 'a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word' WTF are you on about? There's no stick. I can't ask questions? An acronym needs to be a pronounceable word - like Scuba or Radar or NATO or SARS or GAD. FRB is an initialism. Would you prefer to go around using a word incorrectly, or be corrected so you know for next time? Ignorance or knowledge? EDIT: "An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word, usually individual letters (as in NATO or laser) and sometimes syllables (as in Benelux)."

Paid Members lambyUK Posted May 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 There's absolutely nowhere that says an acronym has to be pronounceable as a word. The prime example is SQL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mole Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It's the go down and beat more jobbers nonsense, Jose Aldo hadn't lost in 10 years ( several ranked lightweights dropped down to face him and all lost) Lllll The fight hasn't happened yet ith Frankie & Conar but I would put Frankie Edgar's lightweight credentials way ahead of Nate Diaz' Benson Henderson barely beat Edgar, I had it at the very best 1-1 and they weren't going to risk another rematch as that would have been Frankie just fighting the same guys over and over again. Next fight Henderson has his easist title defence by a mile against one Nate Diaz, he then had a few close fights was finished by Pettis and DOS Anjos and jumped to 170, then Bellator.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 Real sad news to see Bellator fighter Jordan Parsons has died after a hit & run incident. Initially it was reported that he had part of his leg removed, then complications led to him having his entire leg removed but he's since died horrible.

Paid Members Chunk Posted May 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 Fuck me. That's not an easy return for Giblert. Barboza looked shit hot against Pettis a few weeks back. "suckle" might do it. SQL is often pronounced "Sequel", just for info. It's used to manage data in an RDBMS. That's Relational Database Management System. RDBMS is often pronounced "Red Bums"*, just for info. * May not be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
