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.

    My favorite is GIF cause we all agree how it’s pronounced, no confusion there. If you think it’s said the other way you are wrong and very stupid.

      If anyone can come up with a word that starts with GIF that uses the J sound I’d be happy to learn what it is, but all the GIF words I can think of use the G sound.
