I think they're trying to spell their name: Geoff. They're still learning, give it time.

Those who say it with a hard G must also say JFEG using the same logic. I'm fine with someone saying it either way, it's been around so long that I think the choices tend to be regional (aka BBS era).

How would you pronounce JFEG other than J-Feg

[–] elint@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The file format is JPEG (or JPG). Its commonly pronounced "jay-peg", but if we demand that GIF is a hard-G because of "Graphics", then we must abide JPEG being pronounced "jay-feg" or "jay-pheg" because of "Photographic".
