Acronyms

My issue with Acronyms is this, when people use a capitalisation they call it an acronym.

A bit like this:-
ANU (Australian National University) is a Capitalisation.
ACT (Australian Capital Territory) is an Acronym.

The difference being, that an Acronym makes another word 'ACT' is a word. ANU is not.

I can understand the confusion, as in the space of two years, the font of all knowledge which is Wikipedia has changed its definition of Capitalisation to be Initialsim, what ever way you look at it, its not an Acronym.

Gen Ys, have a need for Capitalisation, and try at all costs to include them in every sentence they write (on the rare occasion they actually write something), they would claim this is to save time, but the majority of the world knows that this is simply to exclude those not from Gen Y, as outsiders have no idea what they are talking about.

The last laugh however is normally on Gen Y, as too many capaitalisations serves as a flag to most of the non Gen Y population to ignore the conversation, because it's probably not worth the effort of decoding.
