    One problem: it’s Joint Photographic Experts Group, so by that logic, Jpeg is actually Jfeg… I agree with the pronunciation, but your logic is flawed.

      your logic is flawed

      It isn’t, really. There’s no rule or other logical to pronounce GIF in any other way, unless you count author intent, in which case you would have to start every phone call with “ahoy-hoy” like Mr Burns since that’s what Bell proposed.

        It is illogical if you say the reason for saying it with g is the same as in graphic. Just say you find it easier to read it or like it that way (that’s how i say it too)
