Acronyms are pronounced by convention, not based on the pronounciation of the words that inspire the initialism. For example, CIM (Common Information Model) is pronounced "sim" not "kim".

The inventors pronounced GIF as "jiff", then in my book, "jiff" is right. No debate about it.

The Qt inventors apparently switched the pronounciation from "cue-tee" to "cute" at some point. So I'm trying (hard) to follow suit.

I'm pretty sure I pronounce Synchronet right but if you want to have some strange way to say it just let us know :).
