G like the g in beige, with a long I. "Zhaif"

GAF?
I think they're trying to spell their name: Geoff. They're still learning, give it time.
gee aii f
Gif like Gus not gif like just
With a J but rhyming it with life
Yes, officer, this comment right here.
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
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".
