An Academic Look at AAP

As it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., "Ay Ay Pee"), AAP is classified as an initialism abbreviation. Initialisms are different to acronyms, which are spoken like words. AAP is typically used as a standalone declarative sentence (i.e., a statement). In other words, it is not used as another part of speech within a wider sentence.
