About Abbreviations

Learning a whole new lingo comes along with the 100's of government (GOV), research (RES), academic institute (INST), and nonprofit organization (NPO) groups involved in the restoration and preservation of the Indian River Lagoon Estuary.

Definition of Abbreviation

Abbreviation: A shortened or contracted form of a word or phrase; as in Dr. for Doctor or U.S. for United States.

Acronym: A type of abbreviation that is a new pronounceable word formed by using the first letter of each word found in a phrase or name: as in YOLO for "you only live once" or NASA from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Initialism: A type of acronym that uses a set of initials formed with the first letters of the words in a phrase or name with each letter pronounced separately; as in LOL for "laugh out loud" or IRL from Indian River Lagoon.
