In article , Ron Natalie wrote: Actually, the apostrophe is NOT incorrect here if you consider VOR to be a grouping of letters (abbreviation) rather than a acronym (a word made out of the abbreviation). Certainly DME is not an acronym. The rules of usage allow don't really favor one or the other. ??? VOR and DME are both acronyms (VOR being a compound acronym). No. How do you pronounce "DME" as a word? "NASA" is an acronym. "RADAR" is an acronym. DME is not, although it is an abbreviation. VOR - Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range DME - Distance Measuring Equipment Abbreviations, not acronyms.
