ac·ro·nym
–noun
1. a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words, as Wac from Women's Army Corps, OPEC from Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or loran from long-range navigation.


HR, CT and SJTAC don't make words, you'd say them as letters, at least I would.

But if you want to say them phonetically:

Huuurrrr, Sssst and Sssjjtack


instead of pronouncing the names of the letters H.R. C.T. and S.J.T.A.C
that's your perogative, but I think you'd sound pretty dumb.

Maybe they're acronyms in Polish or something but I only speak English, French, German, Russian and Spanish and they don't make a word in any of those languages. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
