Hear Martin Luther King, Jr. referred to as MLK, like “em-ell-kay”, like FDR or JFK or LBJ, more than I remember in the ‘80s and '90s.

Kind of wonder if it has to do with the relative frequencies of how often he gets invoked as a prominent American figure and how often as a street name

“milk”, “fidder”, “jeffk”, “lobje”

\n

It’s pronounced like the G in GIF.
