Readability of abreviated terms

Hi all,



I hope everyone is having a good time.



I've some doubts on how screen readers should pronounce certain abbreviated
terms. For instance, if I write "QA" (Quality Assurance), it will be read as
"Ka" instead of "Q A". Can we take it as an accessibility defect? In my
opinion, we should not, because readability of such abbreviated terms may be
TTS-dependent.
