How do you pronounce .mov?

dot

I had never said it out loud until seeing this thread. I said "dot move". I didn't like it so then I said "dot em oh vee" which was much better.
 
Haha I say it different to literally everyone in this thread

I say 'dot movv' as in a hard end to the word, no e sound at all.

After all, that's how it's spelt. And it's not an acronym.
 
Do people seriously say "dot" before a file name extension?

"Man that dot gif is hilarious."
"That dot pdf is so hard to read."
"I stored it as a dot jpeg."
"I watched it as a dot mov file."

None of those make sense to me.
 
.mov = Move
.wav = Wave
.mpeg = "em-peg"
.wmv = "Wim-VEE"... lol
.midi = "Middy"
.gif = Giff ("G", like in "gift")
.jpeg = "JAY-peg"
.bmp = Bitmap
