I pronounce it the latter way (as a single syllable). I think that, if one
were being strict, it should be three syllables, as one would do with other
acronyms. With FOP, though, it amuses me to conflate the acronym with the
term for a dandy (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fop). Such are the perils
of a Master's degree in English Literature....

Here's a silly question: how do you pronounce FOP? Is it three syllables,
eff-oh-pee; or is it one syllable, /fahp/ or something like that?
