Acronym FUD: fear uncertainty doubt; female urinary device
Ambiguity! Take your pick! However, "fear uncertainty doubt" appears appropriate here, although "female urinary device" could also apply! Undefined abbreviations (acronym here) can lead to double or multiple meanings; hence ambiguity. That;s why better to define terms for clarity.
Difference between abbreviation and acronym?
Abbreviation: a b c d f g.......x y z
Acronym: same as an abbreviation; except acronym must contain one of the 5 vowels (a e i o u). Now we understand why acronym sounds like a word although strictly not a word! Hope this explanation helps.
