"Some have erroneously extended the term acronym in meaning to describe all abbreviations made from initial letters, regardless of pronunciation."

EDIT: you can't say WAFG is or isnt an acronym just on sight. WAFG could be an acronym if you PRONOUNCE it like single a word rather than say each letter. so if it's "waffegah" and not W-A-F-G then you're good.

Screw Webster. Screw Wikipedia (although it's right).
When it comes to words you have to go to the Oxford English Dictionary for the final say.
Acronym - A word formed from the initial letters of other words.
So if you say wah-fug then it's an acronym. If not, it's not.

It says it can also be just initials (like FBI)...no one says effbeeeye in one word thats stupid....so its an acronym. End of story.....
But yeah..no need for another one.
