    You have to “add” letters for JPEG to be pronounceable.

      Where? you can pronounce “J” 2 ways. “Je” and “Jay”

      “PEG” stands on its own, and it’s also a word, “peg”

      So when you pronounce Jay-PEG you’re just sounding out the “J” and pronouncing the word “PEG”. No letters have been added to make it pronounceable

      In contrast to “Sequel”/SQL where you need to add a vowel “e” and a consonant “u” to get “sequel”

        You literally added the A and the Y to say “jay.”

            And you’re not saying “Jay Pee Ee Gee.”

            Why make a bizarre exception for one letter?

                Do you pronounce GIF “Gee-if?”
