It’s funny that the FBI can be pronounced as “ef-bee-eye” and “fay-bee-eye”, but nobody pronounces USA as “you-ess-ay”, even though in abbreviations the letters should be read as in the alphabet. It’s also interesting that instead of “El” (L) everyone always pronounces it as L. En-ay-ch-el. It’s incorrect to say “leh”, meaning it’s incorrect to pronounce VLKSM as “vay-el-kay-es-em”. Additionally, abbreviations have a gender and a way to determine it (by a keyword: CIS – it, with certain exceptions – for example, what gender is NATO?)
