How to pronounce ggplot2
project community-consensus
ggplot2 is most commonly pronounced "G G plot two" (/ˌdʒiː dʒiː ˈplɑːt tuː/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.
The grammar-of-graphics package: 'gee-gee-plot-two', with 'gg' as two letters. Never 'g-plot-two'.
Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
