    But think about it, how many abbreviations are more than 3 letters long that aren't pronounced as words?

    Compare "NATO" to "UN".

    Or "NAFTA" to "CSA"

    Or "NAMBLA" to "NHL".

    So, it's inexistent outside of your needs.

    Seriously though, give me one common four or more lettered abbreviation that is accepted as being spelt rather than spoken.

    Yes, or as I call it, the "I was right" spot.

    As I was walking down the stair,
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish, I wish he'd go away.

    About your ninja edit, since you're the one who goes about saying that there's a rule, I think the burden of proof is yours and not mine.

    Besides, "snes" sounds stupid. EVEN if it were right, that fact would remain.

    S-nes all the way!

    So you want me to find all abbreviations above four letters and prove that they're all spoken?

    Yeah, that's gonna happen

    Back in the day, we played the "nintendo". Then we played the "super nintendo". No NES, or SNES.
