  The acronym for NASA uses the same sounds as the words that make the acronym. Same as GIF so I’m not sure what your point is. Mine is that GIF stands for graphics interchange format and graphics starts with a hard g therefore GIF should start with a hard g.

    dictionary.cambridge.org/…/aeronautics

    dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/…/agency

    Then

    dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/…/nasa

    They are phonetically different sounds altogether, so your argument is flawed.

    SCUBA, unless you pronounce underwater as oonderwater.

    Also JIF is a separate file format, so GIF should not be pronounced the same.
