Graphics Interchange Format. I don't say graphics with a j sound(giraffics), why would I pronounce the acronym differently?
Laser. AWOL. NATO. JPEG. LAN. MIDI.
An acronym is not a collection of phonemes, but graphemes. Basically, the pronunciation of the acronym is not based on the original words, and it doesn't matter how you pronounce the word "graphics."
Also, this subject has too many threads.
"You can tell the size of a man by the size of the thing that makes him mad."
I'm sure you'll argue that you aren't mad, but my point is you seem to care an awful lot about something I doubt you have any stake in. Say it however you want, we all know what it means.
