Hi. I was wondering, in English, how do we pronounce letters in a name? I mean, in "U.S.A." we say "U" "S" "A"... but in "W.o.W." we say, well, "wow".


I think there are no established rules about this, but I wanted to know for sure. I mean, no one says "Ussah" or "W" "O" "W".


Also, question # 2, do people read "USA", "United States of America"? Would people read "WoW" as "World of WarCraft"?


I also wanted to know, there is this PC game called "Lord of the Rings, Battle for Middle Earth", but in forums and pages I see "LOTR, BFME" written. How would you pronounce this?


...


// "L" "O" "T" "R", "B" "F" "M" "E"? //


That doesn't sound right... I would rather say the WHOLE name of the game when, say, reading the letters (initials) on a webpage's list. Like if answering yes to question # 2 hehe


Thanks in advance! :D
