Acronyms and initialisms are abbreviations that are formed using the initial components in a phrase or name. These components may be individual letters (as in CEO) or parts of words (as in Benelux). There is no universal agreement on the precise definition of the various terms (see nomenclature), nor on written usage (see orthographic styling). While popular in recent English, such abbreviations have historical use in English as well as other languages. As a type of word formation process, acronyms and initialisms are viewed as a subtype of blending. From Wikipedia under the

Q. To celebrate regaining my TC badge, here's a question for my fellow Cricket Section users. Here come the clues: - His first initials (excluding his last name) make up a commonly used initialism. eg BRB, LOL etc... - His last name is the same as a district in England. So can you name the cricketer? :) Asked by Kinney - Mon Sep 29 16:34:41 2008 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, I can. It is Ian Salisbury.
