What is your least favourite acronym?
Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.
Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

Say W really slowly out loud and count the syllables. Where do you live that W isn't three syllables?
I was counting double as one syllable. It's still early on Sunday morning for me here.
In a lot of the US, w is pronounced as two syllables in conversational speech: dub-yuh
That doesn't excuse my stupidity because I'd guess that the places that say dub-yuh also say eh-yuss for 's'.
A lot of them do, yes.
Netherlands. It's pronounced "way" here
So youse say way way way dot com?
