When reading, you may find some words that are often written in capital letters, and seem to be different from other words in the text. Sometimes, these words sound difficult to pronounce. Abbreviations and acronyms are two examples of such words. They are short forms of words and phrases. An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word used in place of the full word (e.g., Adj for Adjective). An acronym is a word formed from the first letters of each of the words in a phrase or a name (e.g., IRIB for Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting). They help to make writing easier to read and understand. They also help us to write within a specific word limit, and avoid repeating the same words over and over. Sometimes, authors create new acronyms when they invent a new technique and want to make it sound cool. This helps people remember the technique more easily.

However, we should use these short forms carefully. Using too many of them can make the text harder to read, especially for people who do not know what they mean. It can confuse readers and make them lose their interest. To avoid wasting time reading through pages to find the definition of an unfamiliar word, we should use such forms sparingly and only when they're really necessary.
