An acronym is a pronounceable word formed from each of the first letters of a descriptive phrase. An acronym is actually a type of abbreviation. The Acronym Finder, as its name implies, is a searchable database of acronyms. This database is the perfect companion for the online researcher - allowing him or her to quickly find a meaning for any obscure acronym. The Acronym Finder is not a glossary of terms, web search engine, dictionary, or a thesaurus -- it is only designed to search for and expand acronyms and abbreviations.
The Acronym Finder consists of a searchable database of more than 92,000 common abbreviations and acronyms about computers, technology, telecommunications, and the military, including Department of Defense (DoD), Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, National Guard, and Coast Guard acronyms and abbreviations. It contains acronyms/abbreviations about: general topics; Internet; chat; email; newsgroups; computers; science; technology; aviation, federal, state and local government; telecommunications; airport codes; and the military including Department of Defense, Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard acronyms. So it is quite extensive, and suitable for many researchers.
The beauty of The Acronym Finder is that it is continuously expanding, with users adding new acronyms at the rate of more than 100 new acronyms each day. Forms exist for browsers to fill out if they find an acronym that does not exist in the database. An added bonus is that the database also contains acronyms in many languages including: French, German, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, and others.
Picked as PC Magazine Top 100 Web Site, I sincerely recommend this site to anyone trying to unravel an acronym. Like ACRONYM, for example. (Alphabetically Coded Reminder of Names You Misremember :) )
