> Well, In the HTML4.0 draft I was surprised to see the way that the term > "acronym" was being interpreted. Re. the discussion on acronyms and initialisms, what is VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language)? The VRML FAQ (F-AY-QUEUE or Fack?) states that this should be pronounced "vermel". However most people I know in the UK treat it like HTML and spell out the initials. I don't know anyone who pronounces HTML as "hit-mell", although URL is pronounced YOU-ARE-ELL and "earl" (the latter seems to be favoured by many Scots I know).
