Is there some hidden pronounciation rule I’m not aware of? And why do we say F.B.I and not FBI or U.S.B and not USB ?

I know it seems a really silly question seeing the actual situation with the ICE eveywhere on the news… But this really bothers me on why people yell ICE when it’s actually the I.C.E :/.

    Hummm

    If you were speaking of I.C.E. to me I’d punch you in the face.

    Why? This is kinda the opposite you said just above

    I don’t see anybody getting thrown out of the house for daring to spell out an acronym that is usually pronounced as a word.

    :/
