Jaypeg is lovely by the way.

Sorry just had to...

iCraig · 20 Mar 2006 at 16:57

Well put it this way, the file extension isn't .ping, it's png. Where has the i come from?

I pronounce it PeeEnGee., and my colleagues do to.

I pronounce .gif as giff, because of the i. If the .gif extension was .gf I'd call it GeeEff, not giff. etc etc etc

I see someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. "Ping" > "Pee en gee"

W3C said:
This International Standard specifies a datastream and an associated file format, Portable Network Graphics (PNG, pronounced "ping"), for a lossless, portable, compressed individual computer graphics image transmitted across the Internet.

End of.

Portable I Network Graphics.......what does the I mean :confused:

No it isn't.

[edit]Unless you're actually on about PInG and not .PNG

I trust the creators of the file format more than I trust you, sorry.

Just like .GIF is pronounced "jiff" despite 90% of people getting it wrong; I trust the creators to know how to pronounce the file format they designed.

It's spelled PNG but pronounced "ping". There is no I.

William · 20 Mar 2006 at 17:32

I pronounce it P N G because thats why I bleedin see, as well as seeing GIF, I say Giff. But I am aware that it is Ping and Jiff.

How does a thread about a hamster turn into a debate about the correct way to say file extensions :confused:

Only on a computer forum

cool hamster i got 3 hamsters 1 looks just like that. lets see the cage

Creature · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:26

Von, that is brilliant

Raikiri · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:29

Love the paint skills Von

iCraig · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:30

Jiff? ******* jiff?

It isn't .jif though.

By that logic, gay should be pronounced jay.

Except they were beaten to it. I don't care who you 'trust'. Its absolutely irrelevant. Just like their pronunciation of their file extension
