So, ... Is it Ar Oh Dee Eye? Or Roh Dee? Roh Die?
 
Is RO/DI an acronym or abbreviation? I hate acronyms. O and it's r-o-d-i, has been for years, young whipper-snappers
 
SCBA when I used to be on fireteam offshore, that "U" makes a big difference.:)

Mostly acronym - derived from the letters, but could also be an abbreviation, such as CIA, FBI or the dreaded IRS :p

Yes, the sounding is R O D I, just as the letters suggest. Sound off each letter on it's own.

The same goes for LED. Come on you young people, it's not Ledds, it's L E Ds, just like the letters sound when spoken one at a time in series.

Would you seriously sound out anything capitalized? Except maybe NATO? Or NASA? Or NAFTA? Or BREXIT?
Or, well, crap, I guess we're not gonna get anywhere with this, are we ...

There we go with the difference between acronyms and abbreviations, and with that, I'm off for dinner.
Have fun all, class dismissed.
