Sometimes acronyms represent actions. For example, a Super Smash Bros. player may be said to be "DI-ing" (Directional influencing).

In these situations, what would be the best-established style to use? Sometimes acronyms are so long that simply spelling everything out is extremely unwieldly. In the case of DI-ing, I find that in many fonts it can be read as "dling" if it's spelled without a hyphen, i.e. DIing. For this reason, I assume that including the hyphen is the preferred way to do things when spelling it out or rephrasing it would otherwise be unacceptable, but I can't think of any discussion on this topic or style guide rules.
