| | Acronym and initialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Militaries and government agencies frequently employ acronyms and initialisms, perhaps most famously the US Government and the so-called alphabet agencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. | | | This convention is followed for a limited number of English abbreviations, such as pp. | | | Acronyms and initialisms often occur in jargon or as names of organizations because they often serve as abbreviations of long terms that are frequently referenced, so a shortened form is desirable. |
