Acronym Finder helps you make sense of the senseless

Of course, knowing that AFL-CIO stands for American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations doesn't necessarily help you figure out exactly what the organization does.
And like any good internet tool, you don't have to use Acronym Finder for its intended purpose. You can type in your initials and see what organizations or technical terms share a set of letters with you. There are more than 4million acronyms and abbreviations in the database.

Only problem is that "DLS", "NSA" and the like are abbreviations, not acronyms. "FISA" is an acronym (as well as an abbreviation). What's the difference? I'll save you a trip to a good dictionary: acronyms are meant to be easily pronounceable abbreviations. Unpronounceable ones like "DLS" can't be acronyms.
