How it works

The phrase is split into words, punctuation is stripped, and the first one or two letters of each word are joined; several formatting variations are offered so you can pick the readable one.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an acronym and an initialism?

An acronym is pronounced as a word (NASA); an initialism is spelled out letter by letter (FBI).

Should acronyms use dots?

Modern style guides mostly drop them, though initialisms of personal names keep them.
