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"
