Answer:

An acronym is a collection of the initial letters of words to make a new word that is taken or pronounced as a word of its own.

Explanation:

An acronym is an abbreviation that is formed by taking the first letters of the words. And these new words taken from the letters form a new name and become a part of everyday language.

It is different from an abbreviation in that in an abbreviation, all the individual letters are pronounced out while an acronym does not. In an acronym, the collected letters form a new word that is pronounced as a word.  

Examples of abbreviations are ATM- automated teller machine, ID K- I don’t know, etc.

Examples of an acronym are NATO- North Atlantic Treaty Organization, OMG- Oh My God/ Oh My Goodness, NASA- National Aeronautics and Space Administration, etc.

Is it our differences or our similarities that matter the most
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Our differences

Explanation:

There are lots of people in the world, and our differences make us realise that we are one in a million. The saying: opposite attracts also suggests that our differences matter the most than our similarities.

There are lots of people we share attributes, similarities with and we get bored because it seems as if we are living with a carbon copy of ourselves, therefore we look out for that person that is different from us. Why? We do this because we need the other person to complement us.
