That is not how acronyms work tho.
It kinda is. Unless you have a REALLY good reason not to, you pronounce the letters in the same way as you would if you were saying the whole word.
There is no such reason in this case.
No it isn't, you pronounce an acronym as if it was its own word. The A and O in NATO are pronounced nothing like the ones in Atlantic and Organisation.
Its own word starting with the same letter variant as the first component word.
Gif stands for "graphics interchange format", or a graphics card. You don't call it a jraphics card or a yraphics card.
Joint Photographic Expert Group. Do you pronounce the image format Jfeg?
I agree it's hard g gif, but your logic is flawed.
Scuba, and laser are other examples where you're wrong
