CATL is cheap ass total loss for SX-Rs.

Acronyms spell words, abbreviations do not. All the things you listed are abbreviations, not acronyms.

CATS would be an acronym, for example.

How about "EH"
It's how Canadians end sentences.

I don't know. Perhaps if CATL is pronounced "cattle" then it would be an awesome acronym.

I'm sorry, I don't want to cause an argument but I have to correct you on this for your future reference.

An acronym is the initials that stand for the word. (National Aeronautics Space Administration-NASA)

Abbreviations are shortening a word (wednesday-wed)

WTF, CATS, RN, TTT, those are acronyms.

It's ok but no, you're wrong.

Acronyms spell words, abbreviations do not. Acronyms are stated as words, abbreviations are not. WTF and TTT aren't acronyms, they're abbreviations. CATS is an acronym.

A lot of people get this wrong.
