No question mark, problem solved.

Came here to say that. Although now that I think about it, it doesn't have a period either. One could argue the sentence be not finished, thus one cannot presume to know what punctuation was intended.

Until the sentence is finished it must be thought of as both a question and a statement.
It's Schrodinger's pussy all over again.

It's funny because whilst asking what an acronym IS, he USES one.
WTF is an acronym for what the ***.

wtf is NOT an acronym, it is just an abbreviation, so this is pointless

No, WTF is an acronym since an acronym is an abbreviation formed from the first letters in the phrase.

shigataganai · 5 points · 11 years ago

WTF is not an acronym, it is an abbreviation, i.e. a short form of a phrase. An acronym is an abbreviation that is pronounced as a single word, such as AIDS or NATO. Now please tell me in what way exactly does one pronounce WTF as a word? Your post is invalid, because grammar.

I hope that it's the same as in polish. If so, the acronym does not always consists of just the first letters. Can't think of english example, and I don't want to teach You polish(well, for poles: "PZMot"=Polski Związek Motorowy") , but in german (much more recognisable language) You have f.e. "PzKfw" = "Panzerkampfwagen" = a tank. It's an acronym, but it isn't initialism. But every initialism is an acronym.

Wiki is wrong

At least in spanish the difference is that an acronym is pronunced as a word (sometimes it's just the initials, sometimes is more) as in AIDS, but in initialism you just say the letters like UN

It can't be a fact because it's not an acronym, it's an initialism.
