JPEG, which stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group" should be pronounced "JPhEG".

    GIF is pronounced with a G because that's how most people naturally pronounce those 3 ordered lettets as a word. Additionally, it makes sense to use G because that's what the underlying word uses. Nobody would pronounce "JPEG" as "JPHEG" naturally.
