This is just a quick PSA to explain the difference between an acronym and an initialism. In a nutshell, an acronym is pronounced as a word, for example OSHA (
Occupational Safety and Health Administration) or NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), while in an initialism, each letter is pronounced, e.g. NSA (National Security Agency) or USB (Universal Serial Port). I just thought that was interesting and I wanted to share.
