One is an anagram, the other is just initials.

Why do people drive on a parkway but park on a driveway?

Because of fish riding bicycles on the cop car in the WalMart bus zone independently.

For that matter, why do so many people refer to this year as “two thousand fourteen”, when it should be “twenty fourteen”. Nobody referred to 1999 as “one thousand nine hundred & ninety nine”.

One is an acronym and one is an abbreviation.

Any thoughts?Yes. I wonder how people tend to pronounce the acronym for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

Why not pronounce I.S.I.S as “is is” in honor of Slick Willy Clinton?

I thought about “radar” and then dismissed your entire premise for this silliness.

Because there has been an “ISIS” since Egyptian times.
And because USA,pronounced, sounds stupid.

Why do they say GSW on TV, when it’s easier to say gun shot wound?

My high school choir director, back in the day, said he took a chorus to Austria, I think, for an international competition. In the award ceremony, they all waited and looked around until they realized that they had won. They were confused because the announcer kept saying the winner was “oooosah”, not u.s.a.

Because isis is a word, and oosa sounds silly.
We also used to say U S S R, rather than usser ... and U K rather than uck, and P R C rather than prick ....
we say F B I, but pronounce nasa.
To: 1raider1
Because Isis is an actual word and Oosah is not.

Because we started pronouncing it U-S-A many years before we got into this damnable habit of giving everything an acronym that the subject sound innocuous, e.g., The JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Startups) Act.
