Technically (by the original definition anyway) it's not an acronym unless you can pronounce it as a word. Most of what we call acronyms these days are "initialisms". Some of them are almost never used in speech anyway (I don't think I've ever heard anyone say 'FWIW', for instance - it's more 4 syllables than what it stands for!).
