I am reminded of the old debate on how to pronounce “gif” (everyone knows it’s the same as “gift” without the “t”), but not enough people talk about how “png” is pronounced “Pyongyang” and I think that is unfortunate - ThreadSky

@jerry Personally, I keep most of my scanned documents in Tiffany format because I don’t trust North Korean formats

This is a very SCSI post.

@jerry Don't forget that JPEG stands for Joint Photographers Experts Group, so obviously it's pronounced J-feg.

@jernej__s pretty sure the j is pronounced like an “h” in Spanish - hfeg

@jerry (also, official PNG pronunciation is ping)

@jerry I honestly thought PNG was pronounced "finge", like singe, but with an F sound.
