Acronym Stand For answers one small question many times a day: what do these letters stand for? Each page takes one acronym or abbreviation, gives the full form in the first line, then shows what it means where you are likely to meet it, on a form, a label, a work email, a school handout or a news story.
We also cover how to say each term, whether it takes periods or capitals, and the other meanings the same letters can have. US state codes, word abbreviations such as tbsp and appt, and memory acronyms such as PEMDAS each have their own section.
The acronym finder at the top of the home page searches every page by its letters or by a word in the full form. The acronym generator helps you build a short name for a club, project or team.
