Didn't go through everything, but why do you do:
> for phrase in string.split(phrase):
> acronym = string.upper(phrase[0])
you are iterating with the name of the list? bad juju
try something like
acronym = ""
for word in string.split(phrase):
acronym = acronym + string.upper(word[0])
then the acronym variable will hold the initial letter to every word
