  • But why? We don’t pronounce any other acronyms like that, so why treat GIF different? The U in SCUBA isn’t pronounced like it is in Underwater. The first A in CAPTCHA isn’t pronounced the same as in Automated and the CH isn’t split up to be pronounced like Computer and Human. The second A in NASA isn’t pronounced like in Administration and the I in PIN doesn’t get pronounced like Identification.

    We read acronyms as their own words, not as a collection of the first sounds of each constituent word.





  • Things must play out exactly as they currently are to ensure Australia acquires its future time powers. Changing the past would likely make it so that Australia doesn’t eventually come to control the time power in the future but some other country does instead, and thus the past could never have been changed by Australia to prevent bad things from happening, which would again put Australia in control of the time power since the past was never altered. The only possible future is one in which Australia doesn’t fix the past, and all other possibilities self-correct back to this alpha-timeline.
