    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

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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?

          See previous reply:

          “PEG” stands on its own, and it’s also a word, “peg”

            Do you pronounce GIF “Gee-if?”
