Acronyms should not be pronounced as words, with a few rare exceptions like scuba that most people dont even realize is an acronym.

...the hell purpose does Q even serve in English, anyway? It's a remnant from a time where English pronunciation was a bit more complex than it is now - and for that matter, words were actually pronounced like they were spelt. Languages evolve over time, and while that happened exactly as expected with English pronunciation, elitists have never allowed the spelling to catch up for the most part. The minor changes that came with American English are pretty much the limit of the extent of attempts to update it. (Many - though far from all - other languages have indeed updated their written language to reflect modern pronunciation. In some cases, there are a few artifacts of the older writing still.) --- Proud to be part of the 1% of society that's smart enough to realise Australia is not real. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Its an acronym. When people say "go read the FAQ" do you imagine them saying it like "go read the fak" an acronym by its definition makes a new word, like nasa as mentioned earlier. what youre referring to is just initialism, like fbi or cia. i think faq is an acronym --- PSN: SUPER_KITTY_JAM FC: SW-2262-4005-7054 ...

The early days of message boards and forums were horrible filled with turbonerds.
If you guys thought the grammar police and turbonerds are bad today, they were literally 10x worse back then. I remember I met a dude on GameFAQs who hated acronyms and shortened words. I think it was an RPG board and I used POW for Power, MAG for Magic and LVL for level and so forth. This turbonerd dude came in going crazy about how I'm a lazy person by not wanting to spell out the whole words and used sloppy typing instead. I told him to chill, that it was not a big deal and that even the game itself used shortened words like that. The dude went on about how it's only two more letters to type to get the full words so why was I so dumb and low in IQ that I was not able to type it. It was fucking awful. I asked him what websight was we on and he said GameFAQs and I said WRONG we are on Game FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS spell it all out you lazy bum. Check mated that nerd. Now a days slangs and sloppy typing is very well accepted which is a very good thing and turbonerds are heavily condemned these days. --- Don't like it? Don't watch it.
