Author Topic: How do you pronounce extensions?  (Read 2458 times)

I say "gee eye eff" and "pee enn gee," but "jay peg."

what about you?

.gif is actually supposed to be pronounced like the word "jiff"

.gif = g i f
.iso= i s o
Exe = e x e

I pretty much say them by their letters

My first thought was, "eggs-TEN-shins".
I just pronounce it like everyone else does, to avoid making an idiot of myself.

.gif is actually supposed to be pronounced like the word "jiff"

Also .png is supposed to be pronounced "ping", from what I've read.
I always say it like the OP though.

JPG/JPEG = "jay peg"
GIF = "giff"
EXE = "eksi" (dohoho)
PNG = "pee en jee"
AVI = "avee"
MOV = "em oh vee"
WAV = "wave"

there are probably others but those are the ones I deal with the most.


GIF "jif"
PNG "ping"
JPEG "j-peg"
ISO "i-soh"
EXE "ecks-e"
APP "app"
DMG "dee em gee"
TAR "tar"
GZ "jee zee"
