Hi,

>An acronym is an abbreviation that can be pronounced as a word

That is actually not true. A search on www.dictionary.com gives the 
following result:

A word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women's 
Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words, 
such as radar for RAdio Detecting And Ranging.
