Question

What is it called when you use the letters in a word to stand for something else?I Ex:KISS=keep it simple stp?

Answer 1

It's called an acronym. Also, if you take a word and do the same thing but make it into a poem then it is an acrostic poem. I know that other people already probably answered the same thing, but what ever, why not still answer? The more the merrier. :)
