if i write AWOL then that is a known acronym but if i write 'Welcome to the BBC' like on their website i am unknowingly mis-using the english language as it should be bbc in small caps as an initiallism !?

Hornseywood - Truth Talk

initialisms are All caps, like QED, BBC, have a watch of : Types of ways the name is written: it is in Basics Folder 1 in Collections start the video about 3:30 and you'll see the initialism section 🙏🏽

i think i get it now, from the language abbreviations, contractions and acronym discussion whereby initialisms are also in full caps like the acronym but only refers to first letters in a shortened version of how a name/title is written whereby the acronym is mostly a phrase of words that when shortened is pronounced as a word within itself (? = i had already watched that video once and it just shows that in my case i need to engage in trying to explain what it is maybe more than once to iron out any misunderstandings i have and increase my certainty of communication on such matters
