[edit] Acronyms vs Abbreviations

I've noticed this template being used for abbreviations which are not acronyms. An acronym is something which spells out a pronouncable word (e.g. NATO); for instance, RCMP is not an acronym (it is read as R-C-M-P). I also fail to see how CTZ, MVM, TNR or MA-1 are acronyms. Perhaps a more suitable template could be created? --RFBailey 21:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
