I have always understood that "POV" was always spelled out. I've
corrected people who have pronounced it as one word. I imagine that
there are more common computing terms that are not pronounced as one
word than those that are. We say "M-B" or "Megabyte" instead of "mib"
but we do say "basic" instead of "beginners all-purose symbolic
instruction code" or whatever it stands for.
