The author's main aim was to present new problems or inconsistencies emerging in the spelling of acronyms. This is important since acronyms constitute a part of the Hungarian word stock that is undergoing changes at the fastest rate today. Deficiencies in the 11th edition of the Rules of Hungarian Orthography have been clearly pointed out by this empirical study, suggesting furthermore that phenomena diverging from the orthographical norms have to be traced back to some serious reason(s). A deeper understanding of those reasons could be based on an even more extensive study. One thing is certain: in creating the 12th edition of the rule book, tendencies occurring in the everyday practice of writing ought to be taken into consideration, and gaps in the regulations have to be filled in, in accordance with the general logic of Hungarian orthography.

The phenomena enumerated and discussed in the paper fall under the process of globalization of communication, which has been present in the language sphere for some time, similarly as the globalization processes in other walks of life. These phenomena include both the older processes (internationalisation, intellectualization, univerbation) and the relatively new ones, as e.g. the expansion of Anglicisms, a particular type of abbreviations, emoticons, etc. The latter are mainly present in the Internet communication, which will probably intensify the globalization processes not only in language. Observation of such phenomena should also go hand in hand with the care for proper moderation of use in this sphere.

This paper gives a definition of, and summarizes orthographical issues related to, incidental letters/numbers/extensions. These are letters, numbers, and extensions appended to technical terms and forming an integral part of those. The given concepts, therefore, are not independently signalled without them, hence the name 'incidental'. Their coherence with the basic terms has to be indicated in writing, too, thus they are spelt solid (or hyphenated) with the basic term or acronym, etc. They significantly differ from attributive letters, numbers, and extensions, respectively; the latter are not part of the concepts referred to but merely convey additional information on some of their properties.
