People who pronounce .WebP as "weppy" are almost as bad as people who say .gif as "jif."

The latter is a pet peeve of mine. I know the creator says it should be "jif", but fuck that guy, it's short for graphics interchange format, it's a "g", you don't fucking say "jhraffic".

@basilfawlty89 Like people who used to pronounce Omegle as "Oh-MEE-gul." The site's logo is the Greek letter omega. That should be a clue.

@BlueMetalChick you know what else pisses me off, people that pronounce SQL as sequel and GUI as gooey.

@basilfawlty89 I'm a big fan of Halo, and in the games, a prominent plot point is ONI, the Office of Naval Intelligence. I hate that characters in the games refer to it as "Oh-Nee" instead of just saying the letters. Although I think it's cos ONI in the lore is pretty spooky and does terrible things, and an Oni is a Japanese mythical demon creature, so maybe they wanted ONI to sound like Oni.

@BlueMetalChick yeah I see your point. Also shoot whoever says URL as "Earl"

@basilfawlty89 I had no idea that people did that until just now. I feel like I need to take a shower.
