Yes that's true, but I was specifically replying to the person who said "jraphics", as if an acronym has to follow the pronunciation of the component words... The s in laser stands for stimulated, and we pronounce it like z... Never heard anyone complaining "we don't say ztimulated, so you shouldn't pronounce it as lazer".
