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

Acronyms are initial letters which make what appears another word e.g RADAR.
Oh, and TLA is a TLA

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

(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"

...but it doesn't make it right.
Wrong so easily becomes right where the evolution of a language is concerned.
Ain't it true?

Well, it does (sort of).
Wrong so easily becomes right where the evolution of a language is concerned.

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