Jun: Hey Vernon, check out this funny .GIF I found!
Vernon: It’s pronounced “jif”.
Jun: Huh?
Vernon: “Dot jif”, like the peanut butter. The creator said so.
Jun: That’s dumb, it’s Graphics Interchange Format.
Vernon: The P in .JPEG stands for “photographic”, but I bet you don’t say “J-pheg”.
Jun: “P” on its own isn’t pronounced like “F”, that’s totally different!
Vernon: It’s exactly the same!
Jun: Name one word that starts with “G” pronounced like “J”.
Vernon: Gentrification.
Jun: Shoot, should have thought of that. I was just in San Francisco.
Vernon: For your logic to be consistent, you’d have to say “skuh-bah” (scuba) or “lah-seer” (laser)!
Jun: Yeah? Well, you’d have to say “J-pej”!
Jun: …Wait, “laser” is an acronym?
Vernon: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Jun: Huh. Didn’t know that.
Jun: You’re still wrong, though.
Vernon: You just hate me because I’m right.
Jun: I just hate you in general.
Vernon: You mean in “geh-neral”?
Jun: Ugh, I’m “joing” to kill you!
