    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?”
