What do you mean by "pronouncable?" How do you pronounce "wtf" or "omg" other than just saying the letters in the acronym? I think you're pulling a reason out of your ass because you don't want to admit there's no reason to single out that acronym in particular.

ASCII is an acronym because it is pronounced "ass key".
NASA is an acronym because it is pronounced "nass uh"
WTF is often pronounced as double you tee eff. But it's not going to be the dictionary definition of an acronym.
Laser is an acronym.
NATO is an acronym.
Any acronym is an abbreviation but HTML is an initialism.
This is fun!

It's not my definition. Buy yourself a dictionary and educate yourself.
