From the PNG Specification (end of "1. Introduction"):

'Pronunciation
 -

 PNG is pronounced "ping".'


So, much as I hate it, it is the standard pronunciation. I still call it
PNG, though, as do most of the people I know.

Hi!

Is there a plugin to read and save MNG and JNG images in GIMP?
Since Konqueror can use them now I'm eager to create some.

hmmm, nothing like computer jargon to overload terms, 'ping' has been a
unix utility for as long as I can remember.

ping - send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts

I'm not sure if there is one. A quick Google search gives references to
people talking about the idea of MNG in Gimp but no code.
