Technically these three are neither - theyโre initialisms since each letter is pronounced. Abbreviations are single shortened words (to use this sign: Dems = Democrats), acronyms represent multiple words but are pronounced as a word themselves (NASA), and initialisms are like FBI, KFC, AMC, USA since each letter is still pronounced. I went with acronym since initialism just didnโt work as well in my already not-funny joke.
