Btw what is Nasə? Nase? NASA? Then CET is C-E-T, just like U-P-S, N-A-D, etc, guess doesn´t work as an explanation very well
NASA is pronounced with a short "a" sound, as represented in the dictionary phonetically as | ˈnasə |
Nobody speaks each individual letter in this acronym, i.e. En A Es A (NASA), rather they say | ˈnasə |
So it's weird that, for some acronyms, people sometimes spell out the letters and others try to pronounce it as a word.
Language is interesting and weird!
