Some acronyms sound cool when pronounced. Some deserve a little more caution.

Never pronounce the acronym for Sentinels of the Multiverse unless you will be fine with repeated accusations of "committing SotM-y" every time you play it.

Yeah, I have a friend that refers to playing SotM as "sotmizing", on purpose.

Speaking of abbreviations...if you use roman numerals, the Vengeful Five is VV.

At my job I run into Mass Public Employees a lot... or MPE.

I cannot succesfully type that acronym right on the first try... it always ends up MP3 and then I need to correct it.
