Yes.. the jraphical interchange format file extension has no proper pronunciation so we all get pronunciation participation trophies.
How do you pronounce laser?
Or George? Or genius? Or gelatin? Or gender? Or gigantic? Or ginger? Etc, etc, etc...
Yes that's true, but I was specifically replying to the person who said "jraphics", as if an acronym has to follow the pronunciation of the component words... The s in laser stands for stimulated, and we pronounce it like z... Never heard anyone complaining "we don't say ztimulated, so you shouldn't pronounce it as lazer".
You live by some weird logic.
nah, the logic is sound
