What some call "compression artifacts," I call "extra crunchy."

From JPEG.org, jpeg stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. Ph = F, ergo JPEG = JFEG. I irrationally dislike jpeg, so I will now try to call it jfeg as some light fun. I think more people shoulda normalise calling common things silly alternate pronunciations that are still clearly recognisable as the original word, just to add the whimsy of getting to chuckle silently to yourself thinking "that's not how that's said!"

thankfully, I can still call it gif bc the creator of .gif says jif. I shiver at the thought of jif...

It's actually pronounced gay-peg, to balance out gif being pronounced jiff.
