An Academic Look at IMU

IMU is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Eye Emm Yoo). However, as the abbreviation IMU is used for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech, it is not often uttered using its letters. Initialisms contrast with acronyms, which are spoken like words.

Before the digital era, we might have said something like "Miss You" or "Can't Wait To See You" instead of using the abbreviation IMU.
