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

Its usual name in English is jay (pronounced /ˈdʒeɪ/)

And you're not saying "Jay Pee Ee Gee."

Why make a bizarre exception for one letter?

Do you pronounce GIF "Gee-if?"
