I’m running into this more and more with BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and Bungo Stray Dogs.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into anything similar?

OK, I’ll bite. Pedant time.
“BSD” isn’t an acronym. It’s an initialism.
Acronyms are pronounced as a words rather than reading the letters, and, well, you’d be beatboxing if you pronounced BSD as a word.
Hey, that’s my job
It’s not pronounced buzzed? I’ve been saying Freebuzzed wrong all this time???
Isn’t an initialism a subcategory of acronym by definition?
Other way around. Acronyms are a subcategory of initialisms, specifically the ones that can be read as if they’re words.
