> ¥ 1970; english. acronym Ç word composed with Initials or syllabs or > <ABBR title="World Wide Web">WWW</ABBR> > > is wrong :) WWW is Acronym, not abbr... No, because WWW is not a word, as it is not pronounceable in English. As you may be gathering, there are variations across Europe in the way these terms are defined and also, in England, the general public and popular press tend to treat acronym and abbreviation as interchangeable, in the same way as they treat virus and bacteria as interchangeable. This is a fairly common repeat topic on these lists.
