I mean, it's only embarrassing for them - if they want to be loud, proud, and wrong that's okay.
But at the same time, they may well set the trend for how it's pronounced in the future.
Lord knows, waDer (i.e. water) started somewhere...
Edit: I'm guessing I offended someone by implying that saying 'wadder' is the wrong way to say water, hahaha.
Sure, but that doesn't change anything in my mind. Descriptivism FTW!
Except... all words are invented by someone, sometime.
Oh, okay. That only combats my point about it being a false equivalence. At the end of the day, it's an acronym.

Eh, I prefer the descriptivist method of language. It's how language evolves over time.
Comparing it to a personal name is a false equivalence. GIF is an acronym, people could enunciate each letter if they so preferred and it would be more accurate/true to creation than even the creator's opinion of how to pronounce it.
The prefix and suffix stars, man...
People seem super triggered by the oil memes.
You guys okay?
