Friday Factoid: They're Acronyms?
Welcome to another Friday(-ish) Factoid!
Today, I'd like to talk about acronyms.
Now, we all know that acronyms are words formed by combining the initial letters (or parts) of several other words.
Perhaps the most common acronym is "USA"... representing the United States of America.
But in today's Friday Factoid, I'd like to share a few common words you may not have even realized were acronyms...
- laser (Lightwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation)
- radar (RAdio Detecting And Ranging)
- scuba (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus)
- sonar (SOund NAvigation Rangin)
- yuppie (Young Urban Professional)

Happy Friday!
