DIR- GUE Simple Question - Global Underwater Explorers

[evandroairton]

I've sometimes wondered how non-English speakers pronounce the names of the various three-letter agencies. It would make sense to me that they pronounce the letters as they would in their own language. Similarly, should I pronounce "CMAS" as a Frenchman would? I'm not sure there's any alternative.

In portuguese we say letter by letter, some with the english pronounce, mostly with portuguese pronounce
G U E
T D I
S S I
IANTD
Etc

With exception of PADI

Do you pronounce it "moo-ee" and use a cow for the logo (like SEUE pronounces it "soo-ee" and uses a hog logo)?

It was $4 extra to get a onesie that had udders... totally worth it.
