minus-squarecm0002@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·1 month agoWhere? 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”
