Down here, it's just the letter sounds - en-em-ee-ay.

| I'd pronounce it using the same scheme I use for TGIF
T G I F
If you feel you need to pronounce it and want to insert a vowel
between N and M, you can justify about any one that strikes your
fancy.
If it was a real word and not an acronym, I'd try pronouncing the N as
the sound of the letter minus a vowel sound and then pronounce the
rest like it was Italian or Spanish, i.e. Meh-ah
So it might sound like NNN Meh' ah

| By definition, an "acronym" *is* a word. With that being said, I've always
just used the letters and have never heard it pronounced as a word.
