So what is an acronym?
An acronym is an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word
So eg. C.I.A. is not an acronym, because it is not pronounced as a word, it is an Initialism; but NATO is.

NATO =
North
Atlantic
Treaty
Organization

(I'm white but the opportunity presented itself I had to take it)

Stun = Nuts
I visited several countries in Europe not too long ago, and it's scary how uneducated Americans are as a whole. Not that anything like this thread is important in just about any aspect of life, but it is indicative of much larger problems we face. Especially considering how much time we spend at school and work, and the cost of school at every level, it is really disturbing how awful our education system is, and how uneducated we are. Even sadder is how much we bask in and are proud of our own ignorance, as though America is always going to be the world's leading superpower by default.
EDIT: Though today in more informal settings, it has become more accepted that an acronym doesn't necessarily have to be able to be pronounced as a word. A sign of the times more than anything. Instead of making people work harder to reach the bar, they've just lowered the bar again.
