It only takes ONE bad experience in your life to slip into addiction. ONE. Deatħ, breakup, failure, unemployment, sickness, etc. So while y'all tweeting in your perfect little homes judging others who are trying to overcome addiction and sadness, remember that can be you tomorrow
I survived a lot of friendships with women who had hidden animosity towards me when all I wanted was sisterhood ! So yes, I’m very selective now 🤷🏾♀️!
i saw a girl on tiktok who said "accountability is so important to me. nobody's perfect, but don't try to flip the script & make my reaction the issue when your actions lit the match" felt this to the core.
ACRONYM, ABBREVIATION, INITIALISM.
Read to learn 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
VISA is actually not an acronym or abbreviation. It’s a Backronym.
A backronym is when people take a word or phrase that already exists and try to force a full sentence into its letters. The word "Visa" comes from the Latin phrase "charta visa" meaning "paper that has been seen." It’s a noun.
Here is a short lesson for those who care to read.
Most people use "Acronym" and "Abbreviation" like they’re the same thing, but in reality, they aren’t even on the same street.
Think of an Abbreviation as a word haircut. You’re just cutting the tail off to save space, but you still pronounce the full name.
Examples: Gov. Sanwo-Olu, Gen. Musa, or Prof. Soyinka.
An Acronym, however, is a new identity. The first letters of a group of words fuse together to create a brand new word you can actually pronounce.
Examples: JAMB, LASPOTECH, or NAPTIP. You don't spell them out letter-by-letter, you say them as one single word.
If you have to call out the letters one by one, like EFCC, FCT, or DSS, that’s technically an Initialism.
Shortened word = Abbreviation (Dr.)
Pronounced like a word = Acronym (UNILAG)
Pronounced as letters = Initialism (N-P-F)
Stop calling everything an abbreviation.
