GIF or JIF?

Gif. because it's stands for "graphic". If you think otherwise you're an idiot.
It's not "jraphic"
I can't believe people still feel the need to debate this.

Creator said its pronounced like "jif"
Rest of the planet pronounces it following the English language rules as a "G" sound.

Maybe they have from the jraphic period with some other dinosaurs.

If the creator says its jif, then its jif. You don't hear anyone pronounce OPs name (Fa-got') instead of (fag'-it) just because of his parents spelling difficulties do you?

who gives a flying fuck about how the creator thinks it should be pronounced, he didn't invent the English language.

>If the creator says its jif, then its jif
Nope. The man invented the technology, not the English language. It's gif.

creator says its "jif," so it's "jif."

...

It's winter you fucking retard.

...

...

well, he's a moron.

GIF isn't even supposed to be pronounced you absolute fucktards. Just like CIA, how do you pronounce CIA? fuck no, you just say the individual letters like you should do fucking autists. It's G. I. F. - GRAPHICS INTERCHANGE FORMAT

checkrekt

>english has strict rules
I'm sure you pronounce plenty of weird names the way you're told to, so why draw the line here?

CIA AKA seeuh, jackass. Must not be from the land of the free.

see eye ayy

initialisms are different from acronyms you retard

I pronounce it like ciao

Troof

Forgot the lmao

Creator is wrong.

oh, yeah. i forgot about that pronunciation. good call. adios seeuh.

>That's not how you pronounce the word you just invented

How far up your own ass do you have to be to say this and actually mean it?

The pronunciation of words that make up an acronym do not determine the pronunciation of that acronym.

Otherwise SCUBA would be pronounced "skuhbaa"

Wikipedia states both are correct.

GIF/JIF it doesn't matter to me, as long as I never hear British fags say aluminium.

Step one: pronounce the word "gift"
Step two: remove the T
Step three: pronounce the remaining letters

Maybe creator not a good a engrish.

take a chemistry class with an indian prof. aluminium calshium, potashium, hydrogenitals...

Its called alumium

>Rest of the planet pronounces it following the English language rules as a "G" sound.

You mean g-sounds like gym, generation, giant, giraffe, gentle?

>Jraphics

Please tell for non native merican or brit.
Are they saying it like aluminum?

...and at the end of lecture, "thank you, come again"

Alu•mini•um
The guy who first refined it kept changing the name of it.

jebj

Sorry newfags, but it's Jif. And by newfag, I mean anyone not online before jpeg took over, who had to UUdecode their pics at a DOS prompt.

GIF vanished for awhile, then came back animated and mispronounced.

webum
checkem'

It IS pronounced JIF but everybody says GIF which sounds way better.

So op
How do you pronounce mboscodiciasaur?

/thread

as it is an acronym, each letter should be pronounced individually and g is pronounced dʒi
it would be Gif not Jif

Juardians of the Jalaxy

ap Jz fægət

How do you say Geof

"Fucking spic"

An acronym is an initialism that can be pronounced like a word

Then how do you say "laser," fucktard?

Your argument is stupid and invalid.

YIFF

someone ask the guys in Sup Forums they know a thing or two about computers

>you can put your penis in a computer and fuck it

GIF like Gin.

It's how the creator says it so I'll say it that way

my bad, but my point is still valid

The creator of the file format said that it's "JIF". However, that's idiotic, so I've elected to ignore it, and pronounce it "GIF" because the "G" comes from the word "graphic".

Underrated post.

Isn't it
Like skoob ah

>current year
>not saying "see'yah"

That's not how acronyms work you fucking retard.

I've never heard someone call it a "jif", what would make you want to pronounce it that way?

Ya it is jif (but i say gif)

Just like png is ping and jpg is "jaypeg ".

Doesn't matter whether the G in graphics is hard or not >__>

That's what any Sup Forums or YOSPOS lite will tell you

Retardation

That's in the past now along with the "jif" pronunciation. C'mon, it's 2017 man.

It's jif you dumb faggots. The other way sounds stupid af.

In North America we dropped the second i, it's still spelled that way but most pronounce it alu•minum

you mean the g like gust, great, gram, grouch, grin, grim, gay, gastly, god, garrott, gob, gibbon, gong, guilt and get? that g?

And Gaston!

...

For all the "G stands for graphics" people.

these kids probably use nutella

good for you, posting in your first thread, next time try to be relevant!

posting a png about jpegs in a thread about gifs..........

kek

His point what that you don't call it a "jay-feg" you utter morons.

>af
You sound stupid.

Why care?

Czeched

Creamy, not Crunchy

Yeah, the G that can be pronounced two different ways. So GIF being pronounced with a soft g is completely acceptable.

Is it Gews or Jews?

Niggers or Gingers

ok

Leyzr
How can you say it otherwise

No the guy kept changing the name of it. At first it was alumium then aluminum then finally aluminium

hard kek

Self contained underwater breathing apparatus. SCUBA is not pronounced the same way as the beginning sounds of these words.

It's not oonderwater uhpparatus

Yeah cool story, I'm telling you how people in North America pronounce it, don't care how many name changes etc..

What about the word "Giraffe" then? Its not pronounced Gurr raff

Are you saying you dont pronounce it skəbô

...

...

Plural = gifs
Singular = jif

jof

I say it "gee eye eff"

So we've been pronouncing this guy the wrong way too

Here user, it's a jift for your imaginary jirlfriend.

i know, i was pointing out the irony and how satisfying that chain was.
