Q:
What is the difference between abbreviation and acronym and initialism ?
A:
Often, abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms are all called "abbreviations". And initialisms are almost always called "acronyms". But there are differences between these three words.
Initialism
An initialism uses the first letter of each word (or of each important word). These letters are not pronounced like a word. They are said separately.
RSPCA (pronounced "R-S-P-C-A") = Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
NHS (pronounced "N-H-S") = National Health Service
WO (pronounced "WHO") = World Health Organization
Acronym
NATO (pronounced /ˈneɪtəʊ/ ("naytoh")) = North Atlantic Treaty Organisation
Abbreviations use some of the letters of a word (or of words).
e.g. (from Latin ‘exempli gratia’) means "for example"
i.e. (from Latin ‘id est’) means that is, or in other words
Dr is a common abbreviation for "doctor". It uses the first letter and the last letter. But it isn't pronounce "d-r" and it isn't pronounced "drrr". The full word "doctor" is always spoken.
Another common abbreviation is oz for "ounce" or "ounces". The abbreviation is the same for singular and plural. I don't know where the 'z' comes from. It just is "oz".

Q:
What do you think is the English abbreviation of "既読スルー/Kidoku suru-/To read someone's text messages on a text messaging apps like LINE but you haven't replied to the messages. In other words you read them (the sender knows the fact you have read the messages because the app shows the sign that the message has been read already) but you leave those text message left unanswered intentionally or not"? Any answer will be appreciated very much.
note: スルー(する) means 無視する/Mushi suru/to ignore or 無反応/Mu-hannou/ to show no reaction
note: スルー(する) means 無視する/Mushi suru/to ignore or 無反応/Mu-hannou/ to show no reaction
A:
I disagree with that English speaker's abbreviation. I don't think there really is an abbreviation for having read someone's text and not respond. In conversation I would just say "It says he read the message but he ignored it." or "She saw the message but I didn't get a response yet." I believe you can also call the sign that the message has been seen already a "read receipt" (pronounced read as in the past tense for to read)
