    Both are equally correct, so use whatever pronunciation you want.

      Yes… the jraphical interchange format file extension has no proper pronunciation so we all get pronunciation participation trophies.

            Yes that’s true, but I was specifically replying to the person who said “jraphics”, as if an acronym has to follow the pronunciation of the component words… The s in laser stands for stimulated, and we pronounce it like z… Never heard anyone complaining “we don’t say ztimulated, so you shouldn’t pronounce it as lazer”.
