    Re: Acronyms

    forgive me if i am wrong but. i thought acronyms are words formed by abrbreviating the initial componants in a name or phrase.

    ie.........NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization

    Did you mean homonyms?

    Re: Acronyms

    A word that is spelled the same frontward and backward is a palindrome.  A word that is made from the first letters of words is an acronym like SCUBA, Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.  Homonyms are words that sound the same, like hear and here.

    Now that we have had a mini lesson today; what is this game?  I love to play.

    Pardon my pedantry, but the word is palindrome. And that;s what I understood the game to be.

    Palindrome is correct ... Meniere's Moment I guess! I meant the game to be Palindromes, words spelled backwards and forwards. Sorry for the mix-up...Let's go with Palindromes!
