Acronyms, initialisms, and other abbreviations can be difficult sometimes, especially if multiple groups have the same abbreviations, or if you're bombarded with long and complex ones to memorize, so mistakes are understandable. But they're still generally recognizable as acronyms, and failing to realize that a word is an acronym is misreading on a whole new level. This type of linguistic butchery tends to manifest in two distinct forms. One is misreading a written acronym and saying it like a word, like seeing "ABC" written down and saying it as a word like "Ab-cuh." The other is hearing a spoken acronym and then repeating or transcribing it as if it's a word, like hearing "ABC" and writing it down as "Aybeecee". Normally, this is used to illustrate someone's poor command of literacy, lack of education, or general inexperience with the language they're speaking. It may also be used in a Future Imperfect setting, usually a post-apocalyptic one, to illustrate how basic knowledge of the past was lost or muddled over the years. This is Truth in Television in that many acronyms that appear to form pronounceable words have indeed gone on to become words in their own right, including such well-known examples as "laser" (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) and "scuba" (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus). This may have been because they were originally mistaken for single words, or simply because it's generally easier to say "Check the Radar" than "Check the R.A.D.A.R.", and certainly easier than "Check the Radio Detection And Ranging." This phenomenon is sometimes called an "anachronym" (portmanteau of anachronism + acronym), to distinguish it from an ordinary pronounceable acronym (such as NATO or NASA). note However, this may be liable to cause confusion; some also use "anachronym" to describe Artifact Names, like how we still call aluminum foil "tinfoil" despite it no longer being made with tin. Or more confusingly, Artifact Names that are also acronyms, like "cc" in emails being short for "carbon copy". See Fun with Acronyms for more on that. Compare One-Letter Pun, Funetik Aksent, Malaproper, Mondegreen Gag, and Rouge Angles of Satin. Contrast Shoehorned Acronym, which is about acronyms created to resemble normal words. See also Fun with Homophones and Fun with Acronyms. Not to be confused with Acronym Confusion, which is about someone mixing up two groups with similar abbreviations. |

Henry Huggins: In Henry and Ribsy, Ramona overhears Beezus and Henry talking about the PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) and thinks they're spelling out the name of a food they don't want her to have. Even when they tell her that the PTA is just a bunch of ladies talking, she demands to be given PTA. They resort to buying a small bag of potato chips and telling her it's PTA. | |

Motel of the Mysteries focuses on the ancient land of Usa, with places being excavated by archeologists in the 41st century. "Usa" is actually the United States of America, having been destroyed in the mid-1980s due to a massive influx of junk mail that literally buried the whole country. | |

SCP Foundation: Members of Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting have Fun with Acronyms that belong to other groups. They refer to the SCP Foundation as "Essie Pee", the Global Occult Coalition as “Geo Sea�, and Marshall, Carter, & Dark as “Emcee Dee�. It varies whether it is due to ignorance or Malicious Misnaming, as some new acts first hear of "Essie Pee" as stories of the Bogeyman, while the veterans and management of the Circus are quite familiar with their enemies (SCP & GOC) and business partner (MC&D). | |

Saving Private Ryan: A Running Gag throughout the film is how all of the other soldiers, especially Miller's team, are amused about Private Upham not understanding the word "FUBAR" (the novelization by Max Allan Collins also has the word spelled as foobar so the audience won't catch wise quickly and adds a scene where Upham thumbs through a German dictionary trying to find it after being told it's German word as a lark). It's not until the Final Battle that he is told that it's the acronym for "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition". | |

In the Heights: The origin of Usnavi's unusual name is revealed to be this in "Hundreds of Stories". On the day his parents emigrated from the Dominican Republic to America, their ship passed a U.S. Navy ship. His Spanish-speaking father thought was a single word, "Usnavy", and decided to name their unborn child after the ship. | |

How I Met Your Mother: Invoked by Barney. He works at a clearly corrupt corporation and is unrealistically rich, but is never shown doing any actual work. On more than one occasion, his friends asked him what his job is, but he seemingly dodges the question by just scoffing and saying "please." Come the final season, "please" is revealed to mean "Provide Legal Exculpation And Sign Everything." | |
