Acronyms that you do/don't pronounce

[Matix]

I used to pronounce "lol", but that got annoying. I pronounce "GIF" and "JPEG/JPG"

I don't pronounce "PNG" or "ISO", and I sure as hell don't pronounce "MMORPG".

[Aerkhan]

I pronounce COMNAVSEACOMBATSYSENGSTA, ADCOMSUBORDCOMPHIBSPAC and NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBOMONIMONKONOTDTEKHSTROMONT.

Why is this dumb?

COMNAVSEACOMBATSYSENGSTA stands for Commander, Naval Sea Systems Combat Engineering Station.
ADCOMSUBORDCOMPHIBSPAC stands for Administrative Command, Amphibious Forces, Pacific Fleet Subordinate Command.
NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBOMONIMONKONOTDTEKHSTROMONT (Нииомтплабопармбетжелбетрабсбомонимонконотдтехстромонт) stands for the laboratory for shuttering, reinforcement, concrete and ferroconcrete operations for composite-monolithic and monolithic constructions of the Department of the Technology of Building-assembly operations of the Scientific Research Institute of the Organization for building mechanization and technical aid of the Academy of Building and Architecture of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

"MMORPG" becomes "Morpeg"
"USAMRID" becomes "Osam Ride"

I for some reason pronounce some things in a Swedish way even if I'm talking to an English-speaking person.
GIF - Geef like in 'beef'
JPG - Jee-pe-gae
ISO - E-so
lol - loll like the Swedish word 'boll'.

The only one I pronouce as a word is gif. I pronounce it as 'gif'.

[Sgt Shrapnel]

Really it just depends on if the acronym can actually be pronounced like a word. Like I say .jpeg as "Jay-Peg" but .png I just say "P-N-G".

Also I know someone who says "Ah-tum" to refer to ATMs. Bugs the hell out of me.

If you actually pronounced it instead of spelling it, it would be something among the lines of 'tiv'.

:eng101: 'Acronyms' that you don't pronounce are called Initialisms.

I.e. FBI.
