GPS — global positioning system

🛰️🗺️ Spell it the Spanish way: G = ge (heh), P = pe, S = ese: heh-peh-EH-seh

Spanish reads GPS out letter by letter, using its own names for the letters. G is ge (a breathy h sound), P is pe, and S is ese. It is masculine: el GPS, because the hidden noun is el sistema.
