The "i" in Linux and Linus have different pronunciations even when they shouldn't.

we say jay-peg for jpeg, pee en gee for png, and ay tee em for atm. none of these are based on the pronunciation of the words they represent.

Most of those are the way I commonly hear, except I've always heard PNG pronounced "ping".
