      Right, because Gs are never pronounced with a “J” sound, and acronyms are never pronounced differently than their full terms. Sound logic there; well done. Never mind any of these:

      NASA- National Aeronautics Space Uhdministration

      NATO- North Ayy-tlantic Treaty Organization

      LASER- Light Ayy-mplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

      SCUBA- Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Uhpparatus

      FOMO- Fear ohhf missing ohht

      ASAP- Ayys soon ayys possible

      POC- People ohhf solor

      PIN- Personal id-entification number

      BOGO- Buy ohhn get ohhn

      POTUS- President ohhf the Uhhnited States

      YOLO- You only live ohhnce

      AWOL- Ayy-bsent without awfficial leave

      ICE- Eyemmigration and Sustoms Enforcement

      DARE- Drug Ayybuse Resistance Education

          Right, in other words, acronym pronunciation has nothing to do with how the letters that compose it are pronounced in their respective words.
