You have to "add" letters for JPEG to be pronounceable.
Where? you can pronounce "J" 2 ways. "Je" and "Jay"
"PEG" stands on its own, and it's also a word, "peg"
So when you pronounce Jay-PEG you're just sounding out the "J" and pronouncing the word "PEG". No letters have been added to make it pronounceable
In contrast to "Sequel"/SQL where you need to add a vowel "e" and a consonant "u" to get "sequel"
You literally added the A and the Y to say "jay."
LMAO that was just for easier visualization of the pronunciation of the letter J

And you're not saying "Jay Pee Ee Gee."
Why make a bizarre exception for one letter?
