TIPS

% is a wildcard. Use % before or after some letters. For example, "EF%" returns "EFM", "EFT", and "EFTA".
Some acronyms contain hyphens, or may not contain hyphens when expected. If the term you're seeking is sometimes written with a hyphen, try it both ways -- with and without the hyphen.
Common North American acronyms are emphasized here, but the database also includes acronyms from elsewhere.
Use capital (upper case) letters when entering the term to lookup.

An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters or parts of other words. Acronyms can be loosely defined as an abbreviation composed of initial letters, but abbreviation more correctly refers to a shortened form of a word, phrase, or symbol.
This database contains acronyms, although a few abbreviations may also be found.

It's always wise to confirm the exact meaning of acronyms used in business. There are too many identical acronyms with widely divergent meanings to presume that you understand the term when you first hear it or first meet someone. For example, does P.O.D. mean "Proof Of Delivery," or does it mean "Payable On Demand," "Payable On Delivery," "Payable On Death," or "Permissable Operating Distance?"
