| | Recursive acronym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Recursive acronyms are not limited to computing terminology. | | | In computing, it soon became a hackish (and especially MIT) tradition to choose acronyms and abbreviations which referred humorously to themselves or to other abbreviations. | | | The GNU Hurd project is named with a mutually recursive acronym: "GNU" stands for "GNU's Not UNIX", "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons," and "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth." |

| | Acronym Definitions (UrbanMainframe.com) |
| | This is a shame since these tags provide a rather neat and semantically structured way of defining acronyms (or abbreviations, or initialisms) and presenting those definitions to the user. | | | The most obvious way to do this was to add a little code to Shapeshifter's parser to look for acronyms and apply the relevant markup. | | | The "ORDER BY LENGTH(acronym) DESC" ensures that the longer acronyms are processed first so that we can safeguard against some nesting possibilities. Then we use Perl's RegEx engine to scan the page content. |

| | Acronym and initialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In some languages, the convention of doubling the letters in the initialism is used to indicate plural words, for example the Spanish acronym EE.UU. | | | Acronyms and initialisms often occur in jargon or as names of organizations because they often serve as abbreviations of long terms that are frequently referenced, so a shortened form is desirable. | | | Acronyms and initialisms are abbreviations such as NATO, laser or DNA, written as the initial letter or letters of words, and pronounced based on this abbreviated written form. |
