Acronyms in other languages
Italians are fond of acronyms, especially in regard to govenment & politics. I subscribe to a newsletter in Italian which comes on the net daily and am often at sea because of the acronyms for political parties (of which the Italians have a large supply) and govt. agencies (even larger supply). Many of these do not appear to be pronouncible, but I know that they are pronounced as words, not as a string of letters.
