I just submitted the BMW definition to

http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/LCI

so that people don't think it could mean "Low-Cost Integration" or "Lean Construction Institute"

Hmmm... LCI is a TLA rather than an acronym.

Acronyms are initial letters which make what appears another word e.g RADAR.

Oh, and TLA is a TLA

ABC...

You mean it (LCI) should be called an Initialism
(TLA means a 'three letter acronym' or 'three letter abbreviation')

From wikipedia

"Initialism originally described abbreviations formed from initials, without reference to pronunciation; but, during the mid 20th century, when such abbreviations saw more use than ever before, the word acronym was coined for abbreviations pronounced as words, such as NATO and AIDS.
Of the names, acronym is the much more frequently used and known; many use it to describe any abbreviation formed from initial letters"

Well, it does (sort of).
Wrong so easily becomes right where the evolution of a language is concerned.
Ain't it true?

There's usage and abusage and we have a duty to educate.

Of course there are those who are never in "receive" mode.
