Or, as I was going to write, let's all learn what a sodding acronym is.
I see people get this wrong time and time again.
An acronym is an abbreviation, the letters of which stand for other words.
Examples:
Laser - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
Radar - Radio Detection and Ranging
Sonar - Sound Navigation and Ranging
RAID - Redundant Array of Independent Disks
Acronyms are all words which you can speak phonetically and which fit into a sentence like, "oh look, a blue laser" or "gosh, I do find RAID arrays fascinating."
Things like PLC, HTML, MP are not acronyms, they are just abbreviations. You could not speak them aloud as full words: you have to spell out their individual letters.
Now stop getting it wrong.
