That's a definition of an initialism. Acronyms are like initialisms, except they can be pronounced as a word. Can we add, "pronounced as a word" to the end? Otherwise, can we follow Jason's advice and remove the definition from the glossary, as it's not essential to understand the difference for accessibility? acronym: An abbreviation made from the initial letters or parts of a name or phrase that contains several words, pronounced as a word.
