Author Topic: How do you pronounce file extensions? (Read 16663 times)

Daenth · July 31, 2011, 10:18:52 PM

.zip Zip
.rar Rawr
.iso Eye so
.ini I-N-I
.jpg J-peg (for .jpeg too)
.cfg C-F-G
.txt T-X-T
.bin Bin
.wav Wav
.ogg Ogg
.exe E-X-E
.dat Dat
.tmp T-M-P
.png P-N-G
.jar Jar
.lnk L-N-K
.gif Gif
.avi A-V-I (for jokes I'll say dot avi)

If I'm saying a file name like Stuff.txt then I'll say the dot before the file extension, if I'm just saying a file extension, I don't say the dot.

I pronounce them all as if they were a word except:
.iso
.jpg
.txt
.exe
.tmp
.png
.avi

I say the letters.

Funny how I selectively say the "dot" for some of them.

Night Fox · July 31, 2011, 11:23:44 PM

the only ones I don't pronounce phonetically are .avi (A-V-I), .jpg (J-P-G), .png (P-N-G), .exe (E-X-E), and .cfg (config)
that I can think of, anyway
