    Here in US we get fruits which are available the markets called:
    Apriums--Apricot+Plums
    Grapple---Grape+Apple
    Pluot-----Plum+Apricot
    These fruits are genetically modified.
    I guess this adds to the acronym.

    lol--laugh out loud
    np--no problem
    tc--take care
    idk-I don't know
    idc--I don't care
    These are some abbreviations used commonly.

    Dear All,
    According to the Dictionary what we are writing (like CIA, ECG and all) are Acronyms but not Abbreviation.
    Pls refer to the link below
    acronym - Definitions from Dictionary.com

    And Abbreviation is a shortened form of any word
    abbreviation - Definitions from Dictionary.com
    for example :-
    Etc for Et Cetera or Adj for Adjective

    Anyways, whatever it is , game is good :2thumbsup: so my addition to the "List of Acronyms :wink: " goes like this...

    IIFA - Intenational Indian Film Academy
    FIFA - Fédération Internationale de Football Association
    IGNOU- Indira Gandhi National Open University
    JNU- Jawaharlal Nehru University
    IIM-Indian Institute of Management
    SMS-Short Message Service
