With acronyms you usually use "a" or "an" based on what the first letter of the acronym sounds like. For example, it would make sense grammatically to use "a" before HSN. But because "H" sounds like it begins with a vowel, you would actually use "an." "An HSN commercial" sounds better than "A HSN commercial."

Does an acronym have to be a word?
An acronym is a string of letters standing for the words in a phrase. So no - SCUBA was not a word before it was an acronym. As an acronym SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) has entered the language and now can stand on its own as a noun -- an aqualung or a verb - scubaed and scubaing, an adjective - the scuba industry. So no an acronym doesn't have to be a word, and just because some become words doesn't mean they should. HAND.
