Journal kriston's Journal: You don't call a JPEG a "Jay-/f/eg" because the P stands for "Photographic" 2
You don't call a JPEG a "Jay-/f/eg" because the P stands for "Photographic," just like you don't call a GIF a "[G]if" because G stands for "Graphics." It's "Jif," like the peanut butter, and that's how the creator intended.
Debate over.

Society makes its own rules once a word is in the wild. Don't care what the creator "intended." Sorry Will and Orville, we don't pronounce it "aeroeplane" anymore.

Nobody I know calls them [G]ifs. They all say Jif.
