It always surprises me that people who make things think that gives them control over the pronunciation of its name, to the extent that they often demand an unnatural pronunciation, so they can see if their demands are being met? PNG/ping/pee-en-gee, GIF/jif/gif, SQL/sequel/ess-queue-ell. Some kind of marking-the-territory thing?
