An Academic Look at AYC

AYC is an adverb of time. AYC is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Eh Why See), but as this is harder to say than "At Your Convenience," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation AYC is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.
