An Academic Look at AYT

AYT is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Ay, Why, Tee), but as this is harder to say than "Are You There" it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation AYT is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.

AYT plays the role of an interrogative sentence, i.e., a question.
