51-Word Story #352: Initial Concerns

One of my pet peeves is the misuse of the word "acronym." The word you are looking for is initialism. I will not be chained down by common misconceptions! An acronym only describes an initialism that is spoken like a word, like SCUBA or RADAR. Anything else is not an acronym!

(Prompt words: Acronym, chained)
