I know, right? That’s just crazy-talk.
Kick. Ass. Picture.
That is impressively pedantic.
Yeah, Lyra isn’t that deeply educated in english grammar to know the difference.
(And neither am I, quite frankly, but that was fairly obvious since page 1. xD )
reads up on acronym vs initialism
Wow, I’m a pretty serious grammar pedant and didn’t know about that one. I think I agree with most commentators that ‘initialism’ is fading to the point that ‘acronym’ will soon be, if it is not already, the proper term for the entire class.
also, R.I.A. isn’t an acronym, it’s an initialism. as the definitions go: “An acronym is an abbreviation formed from the initial components in a phrase or a word.” (examples: NATO, Scuba, Laser, Taser)
and
“an initialism is an abbreviation consisting of initial letters pronounced separately (e.g., CPU ).”
i wouldn’t say lyra’s mistake is bad considering this is a not-so-well-known fact, so it’s understandable that she wouldn’t know
I think you do, the next page will be more entertaining than sad/tragic. :3
