    Acronyms vs initialisms

    Learningpost, Heather Vlach, Published on 05/01/2010

    » An acronym (pronounced AK-ruh-nihm) is a word formed from the initial letters of other words and can be pronounced as a word.

    Children on the margins

    Outlook, Vasana Chinvarakorn, Published on 07/01/2010

    » There is light in the eyes of these children as they laugh. It shines out of the darkness that surrounds them. Under the fluorescent glare, the youngsters are giggling or convulsing with laughter at the performances of their peers.

The memorable night will no doubt be cherished by the youths for years to come.
