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