Stupid question, yes. But I want to know so I don't sound like an idiot when talking with someone in person.

Thanks a bunch!

LOL! Thats how I pronounce it, too. Was never sure though, so good question!

Do you pronounce these acronyms as a phonetically spelled word, or do you say each individual letter (which is what I have always done)?

Sometimes I feel like I'm in my own world pronouncing stuff, and then I'll see a NAMM video with a professional prounouncing something that I had wrong the whole time . . . damn.
