Interesting fact:

Did you know that many of the words we take for granted are actually acronyms? An acronym is when we shorten a phrase and use its individual letters to make a word. Scuba for example is short for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. Now that’s a mouthful! And you might be surprised to know that canola stands for Canadian oil, low acid. And the ‘base’ in base jumping stands for the four types of structure you can jump off – building, antenna, span and Earth.
