Acronym is said like a word (NASA, FEMA). Initialism is just the letters (FBI, CIA).
I'm going to oops you silly
Do you mean acronyms or initialisms? I can't think of any 3 letter acronyms which are groups or agencies. All the ones I can think of are initialisms.
No one can make you pay attention to them. When an ad break comes on, I get my book out and read until my show starts again.
They are part of the same order (broad toed ungulates) and share a common ancestor, so they are certainly related
Hippopotamus literally means river horse, so they are related (not genetically, of course, but etymologically).
Cryptozoology. There are definitely creatures unknown to science. Dozens of new ones are discovered every day. Loch Ness monster - no. Unknown ape - possibly.
I love this album but never particularly liked that quote or the supposed meaning behind.
If you're on the train you're either for it or against it. No one on the train is neutral. They either boarded willingly or were boarded against their will. I don't think anyone just finds themselves on the train.
It's true, of course, that being neutral is accepting the status quo, and that neutrality helps the oppressor and not the oppressed, but I don't think this quote really conveys that.
Yup.
