Biology has so many acronyms we tend to forget that they are short for something. When genetics, proteins, and chemical signaling become involved the number becomes so overwhelming that reading through a paper requires a cheat-sheet. Oftentimes I find that my visual memory is better than auditory for acronyms - so when someone pronounces the acronym like a word (not uncommon) I have to pause and think about how it would be spelled.
