Really? This is the question burning a hole in your brain - why we don't spell out the acronym 'ISIS' rather than making a word out of it?

Actually I’ve heard ISIS pronounced as a single word & as each initial. SO, take your pick - either goes.

Maybe because Isis is an actual word and it was easy to take its pronunciation for ISIS. Plus it works out better sound-wise than oosa (USA), ooser (USSR) or ook (UK).

Because if you pronounced it as “Is, is,” it would remind people too much of an infamous Bill Clinton quote.

USA is easy, with only three letters. Better question would be, why wasn’t USSR pronounced “user”?
To: 1raider1
It depends on what the definition of is is.
