I grew up without ever having to say it out loud, and the first time I did I say “dot Gee Eye Eff”.
I stand by this as the correct pronunciation. .exe, .pdf, .html, .PNG, etc you say as “dot” followed by the letters, why should .jpg and .gif be any different?
Does that mean you also pronounce scuba sku•ba instead of skoo•bah? Because that U stands for Underwater not OOnderwater. And what about Jpeg? Shouldn’t it be Jeg because the P in photographic is silent.
Assuming short busses are the same as minibusses, it’s kinda funny because my old school district uses them for transporting the ‘intellectually gifted’ students to a special advanced class. so ‘taking the minibus’ is something of a compliment where I’m from.
Intellectually jifted. Yeah my significant other was one of the short bus to the magnet school kids. But I’m European, and we don’t segregate based on neurotype (at least not to the same extent).
As someone with pretty profound learning disabilities, I’d like to point out that… It’s actually very ableist. Maybe putting us in bus ghettos so you can sanitise your school system and isolate your darling children from the freaks is slightly worse though.
