Does letter "c" read as [c] in all abbreviations or acronyms?
- BBC - company [k]
- PC - computer [k]
- RC - compiler [k]
Are there any abbreviations or acronyms where the letter C doesn't read as [c]?

1Technically, those are acronyms. Abbreviations, e.g. "e.g." aren't meant to be spelled out. Although, I think abbreviations include acronyms, not everyone might agree.– Hector vonMar 14, 2017 at 18:03

@Hectorvon Alright, I've supplemented that to the question.– SovereignSunMar 14, 2017 at 18:16

1The only way "BBC" is an acronym is if you pronounce it "bubook" or similarly. SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty) is an acronym, because it is normally pronounced "salt" and NOT spelled aloud "s-a-l-t" in normal use.– DavoMar 14, 2017 at 19:26

I don't know about all acronyms, but in those mentioned and any that I know, no, the letter C is denoted by its name, that sounds like "see".
