One problem: it's Joint Photographic Experts Group, so by that logic, Jpeg is actually Jfeg...
I agree with the pronunciation, but your logic is flawed.
NOOOOOOOO DONT DO THIS NOOOOO
your logic is flawed
It isn't, really. There's no rule or other logical reason to pronounce GIF in any other way, unless you count author intent. In which case you would have to start every phone call with "ahoy-hoy" like Mr Burns since that's what Bell proposed.
It is illogical if you say the reason for saying it with g is the same as in graphic. Just say you find it easier to read it or like it that way (that's how i say it too)
No. Phonological consistency is inherently logical and the default used when no exceptions apply.
Then what is the exception for Jpeg?
The ph digraph, of course.
Ok, then why does the logic not make Jpeg into Jfeg?
I never said whether or not the same logic applies to the ph digraph and I'm frankly not sure whether or not it does. What I DO know is that it applies to the g in gif.

So special pleading.
Nope, just phonology.
