Resolution status:

Definition of INITIALISM should make it clear that initialisms are not pronounced as words; if they are, they would be acronyms instead of initialisms. (At least, that's how I've heard it explained.)

Proposed Change:

Add "Note: Initialisms are generally read as strings of individual letters rather than being pronounced as words."
