    Merci, bigdreaux, for breaking the ice on this thread.

    Snow: I'm not sure what you're asking. I thought an acronym was an abbreviation that makes a word in its own right, such as NOW (National Organization for Women). As far as I know, FDS is not an actual word (at least in English).

    Did I get close to what you were talking about?

    Regards,

    MUM is right when she says this.

    I think what Snowbird is looking for IS an abbreviation or initialism .For example FBI is an initialism or abbreviation for Federal Bureau of Investigation.

    Flexor Digitorum Superificialis (a forearm muscle)

    Ferrovie dello Stato (an Italian railway company)
