• I've come across a sentence with the name "UNICEF". I was confused if it can be used with article or not. So I googled it…………………. It's so confusing. There's any rules that can be applied to this? or there're all irregular? I'd like to know if other organizations-UN, WTO, UNESCO, etc also like this. p.s. I couldn't find any related threads in this forum because I didn't know what word I should choose to look up..
