What is the difference between an acronym and an anagram




















These are really abbreviations rather than true acronyms. Poems in which the first letters of each line spell out a word or name are sometimes erroneously called anagram poems, but are more properly referred to as acrostics. For some true anagram poems a few of which are also acrostics see our Literary Archives.

Which vs. That Year-End Quiz. Use initialisms and acronyms in moderation unless your readers are familiar with them. Spell out the initialism or acronym on the first use unless they are undoubtedly widely known, or are never used in their spelled out form and follow with the abbreviation in parentheses to prepare readers for subsequent use of the abbreviation.

Consider rewriting documents that are loaded with acronyms. Do not italicize acronyms or initialisms even if they are the official title of a printed piece. Subscribe to Email Updates Sign up for our emails! Search Our Blog. Recent Posts.
