Jraphic interface format really sounds right /s

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

I think it's because words that end with sa, have that uh sound. Like Medusa, salsa, mesa, mimosa

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

Light aimplification by ztimulated emission of radiation just has a nice ring to it /s
