A Times leader on all things riot referred to the Stratford Olympic Stadium.
What a very unfortunate set of initial capitals.
I was wondering if anyone might object to my calling it an acronym – where the initial letters are pronounced as if they were a word (NATO), not just spelled out (NHS).
If SOS were an acronym wouldn’t it be pronounced soz?
The OED allows SOS as both a noun & a verb. So it must be a word, mustn’t it.
