couldn't pronounce "graphics"

That's not how acronym pronunciation works though. We don't pronounce them based on the words they stand for, otherwise we would pronounce NASA, SCUBA, LASER, etc. differently. Both pronunciations have valid arguments so why can't we just accept both and stop being weird about it.
