Post Abbreviations,initials and Acronym.

Asslamualaikum,
Hi aspirants .
check it and i need suggestions.

ABBREVIATIONS, INITIALS AND ACRONYMS:
Abbreviations:
Whenever we are having only one word and we want to make it short by omitting some letters or it is the short form of a complete word.
We usually take the first and the last letters of words.
Ex: Doctor. Dr
Mister. Mr.


Initials:
When so ever we are having more than two words and we make them short by selecting just their initial letters and capitalize them and pronounce them one by one or separately.
Ex: I.A.E.A
U.S.A
U.N.O ( Remember in American English we use full stops or dots in between the initials but in British English and in the modern sophisticated area or time we can write them with out the same dots.)

Acronym:
It may be defined in two ways.
1) Firstly the simple definition is ,”if initials are or is pronounced collectively .
2) If more than two words are made short by selecting their initial letters and pronounce them collectively.
Ex: NATO
QESCO
FATA
WAPDA.
