Same! Reading the acronym AS the acronym is horrible and weird because it's "hard" to pronounce - think it's the 3 hard consonants at the start. Feels like it takes longer to say "HTFU" than it does to say "harden the fuck up".
How do you pronounce that most contrary of acronymns, 'WWW'?
Struck by the absurdity of having an acronym that takes longer to say than its expanded form, but needing to disambiguate it from that form, I tend towards saying 'wuh wuh wuh'.
And what about pronouceable acronyms such as Fiat, laser and radar?
