PHOTOGRAPHIC. PHOTOGRAPHIC. PHOTOGRAPHIC. It's pronounced j-feg.

Acronyms don't give a fuck what the original pronunciation of the words used to make them are. Sorry, you lose.

If "gif" has to be pronounced with a hard G because it stands for "graphics," then the P in "jpeg" has to be pronounced like an F because it stands for "photographic."
