Allow me to clarify: I don't think NASA is becoming a word. I think it's written that way to follow an editorial rule or because it's a mistake. > Acronyms that become words sometimes lose their capitalization. Nasa is headed there. A laser, a scuba, a radar or modem have become words and describes objects (and have a plural form) so what would the word `nasa` describe if it's heading to being a word (which I don't believe is what's happening but I might be wrong) ?
