An Academic Look at SI

SI is an acronym (i.e., an abbreviation spoken like a word). However, it is not normally used in speech. SI is an abbreviation typically used for efficiency in text-based messaging rather than for efficiency in oral communication. Acronyms differ from initialism abbreviations, which are pronounced using their individual letters.
