Examples Of Acronyms
For example:
- International Monetary Fund: before IMF today IMF
- Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social: before IMSS today IMSS
It does not matter if one of the words is lowercase within the name. It can be capitalized for the acronym. Now, as can be seen with the previous names, acronyms are necessary to express yourself more fluently.
It is not the same to say:
“I went to the Mexican Institute of Social Security to have some X-rays of my ribs done, after the accident I suffered a few months ago.”
What to say:
“I went to the IMSS to have some X-rays of my ribs done,
after the accident I suffered a few months ago ”.
Another example, in which the ease of using acronyms is very clear is the following.
The phrase:
“I accompanied the grandfather to the Institute of Social Security and Services for State Workers, to settle the matter of his life pension.”
It can include the corresponding acronym, and become:
“I accompanied the grandfather to the ISSSTE to settle the matter of his life pension”
