An Academic Look at WYBD

WYBD is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Dublyu Wy Bee Dee), but as this is harder to say than "What've you been doing," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation WYBD is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech. From a grammatical perspective, WYBD is an interrogative sentence (i.e., a question).
