An Academic Look at HML

HML is an initialism abbreviation. This means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Aitch Emm Ell). However, HML is not usually uttered using its letters. HML is typically used for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech. HML is normally used as a standalone declarative sentence (i.e., a statement). In other words, it is not typically used as another part of speech within a wider sentence.
