I will never call a gui a gooey. And I will never call a gif a jiff, if he wanted it to be pronounced that way he shouldn't have been incompetent.
>>
>>51693390
What? The creators pronounced it like that as a joke. It's an acronym and the first word, "graphics," has a hard g like gift. It's no wonder there's confusion over the pronunciation, and we should all just accept that we understand what someone's saying when they say "jiff" or "gif" and leave it at that.

What you just said makes no sense. Whether or not it's an acronym has no bearing on the pronunciation of the word itself. Even without the context of the acronym, we can look at most other English words that begin with g to find that the majority of them use the hard g sound.

Besides, I never stated which way I pronounce the word.

Don't be a fucking retard so you can tell yourself you were right on the internet. It makes you a double retard.

Literally why? Everybody I know, every professor I've met, every tech guy I've met have all said letters individually.

GUI = G. U. I
PNG = P. N. G
JPG = J. P. G
Etc...

I've never once heard somebody u ironically say jiff. It's literally retarded and goes against most phonetic rules of English G. Nobody, literally nobody cares what the "creator" has to say on the subject because he's wrong.
