If USP is an acronym how would you pronounce it?

Is the USP of UPD the fact that it is an unknown TLA.

Lots of love?
Are you sure it's a fact that UPD is an unknown TLA ?
Not according to Black Hole.
As to whether that could be considered a USP is anyones guess.
A couple of poems on the subject of pronunciation.
They do indeed, but take no heed, or is that the Cumbrian for head?"And dead: it's said like bed, not bead --
For goodness sake don't call it 'deed' "
But the Cumbrian elders do say deed.

Referring to which, does anyone know anybody who spells it "hiccough" but says "hiccup"??

I do.

You do, or you know somebody who does? I regard that spelling as an aberration.

But there is no alternative spelling for "island". I can understand there might have been variations in what different people (possibly by regional dialect) call what I call a hiccup, one of which might have been "hiccough", but I see no reason to say "hiccup" and write "hiccough" when there is a documented spelling "hiccup".

If that is documented as fact it will sway my opinion.
