You don't belong here.
master troll
its pretty simple, its spelled gif so you pronounce it gif
Like it's spelled.
.gif
Not
.jif
The "G" is for Graphical, so the grammatically accurate pronounciation would be with the same soft G sound.
Nigger
We have problems like this due to stupidity in America. Stupid people will look at a word spelled gif and say oh, that sounds like jif.
Fucking idiots I would kill you if murder was legal.
You're what's wrong with the world.
The "U" in scuba stands for "underwater", but it's still pronounced "scooba",not "scuhba" the word doesn't mean shit
...
Self
Contained
Underwater
Breathing
Applicator
The creator said it is pronounced as JIF
Therefore
JIF
Graphics Interchange Format.
not
Jraphics Interchange Format
Thought it was apparatus.
Yeah the word "Underwater" doesn't change the way we pronounce "Scuba", the word that doesn't matter/change the pronunciation is "Underwater"
But choosey programmers choose gif. Jk it is with a g sound tho
why would you ever need to say it out loud in the first place? fags
WHO
FUCKING
CARES
>pic related is everyone who actually cares enough to debate this shit topic
The G is silent
you wouldn't since like webms were invented
Do you pronounce scrubbing bubbles as scroobing boobles?
You know what I mean, "scuba" is pronounced as "scooba" when people talk about, even though the "U" stands for underwater
it is
The creator of gif said it is pronounced jif. Argument over . Yes it should be pronounced like gift without the t, however it isn't.
jife
I guess you have no idea that the creator of gif's says it's pronounced jif... people like you are what is wrong with the world . Learn to educate before spewing out verbal vomit
Scuba, Nasa.
Ask the creator, you are wrong.
g stand for graphics fucktards, it's an acronym. hard g
I know. The creator doesn't know what to call it and is also a moron. Any thing you could argue as to how it should be called, points to G not J
Hats just what he prefers to call it. His opinion. Not what it should be pronounced ass due to other facts on how Gs should be pronounced.
Nope. He said that's what is called. He even said "it's pronounced jif, end of story" look like you failed to do your research. It's ok to be wrong once in awhile, I'm not mad. Just trying to help you not look like a fool in the future. Now you know it is pronounced jif, you can correct any fag saying gif.
Cheers,
G(u)if
Like in guy
I find myself saying both.
Geoff
So the word giraffe is pronounced with a hard g?
So the name Geoff is pronounced with a hard g?
So the word germ is pronounced with a hard g?
So the word gem is pronounced with a hard g?
Gym
According to the creature of the format. It is. But the only acceptable way is GiFffuuff
>creator is a moron
what have you created that has been used universally online for years?
Jiff
Gif is shit
Cunts say gif
Creator says jiff
If you wanna call it gif you do that
But it's jiff
all these fags are butthurt because they've been saying it wrong for years
the creator created it. if he says it's pronounced "florbuzdin" that's how it would be pronounced
sorry you were wrong faggots, stop crying about it
I started with this "vaccines causes autism" like 9 years ago and I never heard it before so that kinda counts imo
So let's says you create something new and give it a name
Let's say you make a Blowjob Machine and call it BM for short
You tell everyone it's pronounced BeeEmm and someone on the internet says it's pronounced Bmh
Who's right?
Or is it opinion even though you created it?
May-may
once something enters the public, it's on them to decide. words change all the time based on region/dialect etc.
Why would the creator of the file type be able to choose the pronunciation? In most languages, their use ultimately decides how words will be pronounced. The overwhelming majority of people agree, that in English, it is a hard G like in the word graphics. Too bad, so sad for the "creator".
But that's wrong
If I want to pronounce something different I can
I can't say that how I say it is the definitive way of saying it pal
that garbage was published in 1998. if you hadnt heard of it before it's because you're an idiot or a child, most likely both
...
Underrated post
>arguing that cigarettes are officially pronounced fags because that's what some people call them
Good one bud
Bingo
Thank you friend
"Gif" with a hard 'g.'
Creator was trolling
Its not like creating a file extension is hard. Are the creators of the millions of shit items in the world genius inventions? The toilet buddy? Every piece of plastic Chinese bullshit?
No its just lucky and something that's been used a lot. The creator is a moron and talks like a fucking idiot, therefore he calls .gifs, .jifs
He can't even Call his own invention properly.
I would pronounce BM "bim" like bimmers
This.

All other opinions are retarded and you're only embarrassing yourself for being an illiterate fucktard.

If you don't like the ambiguity in English spelling then here's what you can do about it:

>The overwhelming majority of people agree, that in English, it is a hard G like in the word graphics
Hm. Don't be offended if I use my middle digit to agitate my gin and ginger drink (before ingesting it) whilst cogitating on your rigid rule.
This fucker created animated gifs
The .gif format was created well before this faggot ever set for in the tech world. His opinion on how to improperly pronounce a word means nothing and shouldn't mean shit to anyone. He's a fucking faggot. Trying to be difference, because he knows everyone with a brain pronounces it with gif not jif name it .gyif or .jif if u want to call it jif. Ffs
you didn't answer my question because you've done nothing productive and just want to bitch about your feelings
And what ubiquitous file formats have you created?
who the hell cares lol
Picture this: You are the creator of the .gif format. No one knows or cares. Then one day people ask you how it's pronounced. Logically it's gif, since it stands for graphic image format. Not jraphic image format. If you tell the world it's pronounce gif, you'll be forgotten again. If you go against logic and tell the world it's pronounced jif, people will think it's weird. You're name will be mentioned along with your decision. It's gif. The guy just wanted to be known.
I just made a up a brand new term called "Slork" but it's pronounced "Braf". You can't tell me I'm wrong cause I'm the created it.
lol, your. I can't into grammar while drunk.
You don't, it's G.I.F. as you would say just about any other file extension.
You don't pronounce .exe as ecksy
You don't pronounce .swf as swiff
You don't pronounce .html as hhtmall
Stop trying to pronounce file extensions and you will stop sounding like a computer illiterate retard.
See
>scuba
Acronyms aren't pronounced according to the words they are composed of. By definition an acronym is itself a new word.
Start learning the language and you will stop sounding like an illiterate retard.
Acronyms aren't always meant to be pronounced.
You don't pronounce most of them.
Also try reading the page you link before trying to use it to call someone else dumb.
Actually correction not everything that is an abbreviation is meant to be an acronym.

>Guy who invents the format tells people how it is pronounced
>People try to say he's wrong, as if the English language isn't filled with exceptions to "standard" pronunciations
Jif, it will always be jif. Anybody who says otherwise is either uneducated or a fool.
Furry approved.
The problem with pronouncing .gif as jif is that there is a .jif file extension.
"gif" fags btfo

La jota en español suena como la hache inglesa, quizás un poco más fuerte, pero nunca como la i griega.
The creator isn't who gets to decide how things are pronounced.
Sure they get to pick it.
But society is who owns language, and if society over time decides to go a different direction... then that's the way it goes.
Sorry, both sides should just get over themselves.
The \g\ of "graphics" is hard, not soft. The \g\ of "giraffe" is soft.
it's actually pronounced "may may", although most people say it wrong. It's a Japanese word.
Well duh. I think you just schooled yourself moron.
Kys
nice bait
The creator is a troll so he doesn't get a say.
go back to tumblr faggot
so the word graphics is pronounced with a j?
The guy who coined the term it pronounced it wrong. He's all "These social MEEMS are created among people blahblahblah sociologysociology doopdoop."
It's Apparatus m8.
You are all wrong. It's pronounced Blubberdick Cumberbund
The creator is an ass and can be ignored. In fact he has been ignored almost from day one. He doesn't get a say in how it's pronounced.
The creator is a troll and gets no say in what it's called. No one pronounces it that way so what he wants is immaterial.
You just played yourself, dumbshit. If it's an acronym (NASA, SCUBA, GIF, POTUS), it's a new word. You read the letters as if it's an entire word. If it's an abbreviation (CIA, FBI, DHS), it's not a word.
