Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is an acronym? (Definition)
Acronyms are abbreviations created to shorten long complex names (for projects or companies) into pronounceable words. Shorter acronyms are easier to remember and can become actual words (or be inspired by actual words).
How to create an acronym?
Enter the important words that represent the object of Acronym (project, title, business, etc.) and dCode will extract the letters to make/build the best acronyms.
Example: Best fanclub for dCode => BEFAD
The creation of an acronym is very important to give a good designation, a name to a project or a company. A good acronym must be easy to pronounce and concise (so easy to write and/or mnemonic).
How to create a mnemonic word?
To remember a list of words, it may be useful to remember only the initials or first syllables.
Example: The PEMDAS label is a word invented to remember the order of operations (parentheses, exponent, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction)
And conversely, it can be practical to learn a sentence to remember letters or syllables:
Example: To learn the periodic table of elements: Native Magpies Always Sit Peacefully Searching Clear Areas.
How to find the name of a project?
Note the important keywords and use the acronym generator to obtain combinations of letters that can be used as acronyms. A majority of results will not be appropriate, but chances are good that a project name will be in the list.
What is smart sorting?
Smart sort aims to filter acronyms easy to pronounce.
Example: BEFAD is more readable than BFD
This function has a tendency to favor long acronyms with syllables to short sigle made of initials.
What are the limits of this generator?
This acronym generator/builder/maker generates acronyms from letters (often uppercase), digits are ignored.
What is the difference between abbreviation and acronym?
An acronym is an abbreviation that has the advantage of being able to pronounce easily to make a word (and not a continuation of letter spelled).
What is an acronym plural form?
Some acronyms have entered the dictionary and can have a plural form but this is not always the case, there is no rule to pluralize an acronym.
