"USA" is technically NOT an acronym, because people don't pronounce it as "You-Sah". However, "MADD" (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is an acronym because it's pronounced exactly as it's spelled.

4. Acronym
A word coined from the first letters of other words. Many idiots confuse abbreviations with acronyms (and vise versa). Others think it's the actual letters in abbreviations/acronyms that are acronyms. They should learn how to read a dictionary, take an English class, and/or stop their pseudo-intellectual tendencies.

(Abbreviations are just shortenings of words. Remember, the words, abbreviation and acronym, are never the letters themselves, albeit the letters are core components of these words.)
MILF (Mother I'd Like to Fuck), ASS (Angle-Side-Side), LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation), AIDS (some medical jargon I can never remember)
