If you'll refer to the whitepapers of doctors Emmett Brown and Dre you'll see that it is pronounced like the peanut butter.

How much power is required to time travel? What should be mixed with your juice? These men are doctors. DOCTORS!

>>54253778
Jif is already a thing, and gif isn't, hence it should be pronounced Gif so it is unique.

You are now aware that you've been posting on /j/ all of these years.

NASA = NA-SA

Yeah, therefore the "graphics" being pronounced with a soft g doesn't mean "GIF" is.

It's pronounced yiff actually
>^_^<

>>54254857
Except this is not Old English.
This is an acronym.

Still, it can be pronounced both ways, it's just stupid to say anything else but with a hard G.

I pronounce it as my mother language dictates i pronounce acronyms, foreign or not. GIF.
If someone doesn't like it, they can go cry in a corner and draft a complaint to the imaginary English Language Bureau of Butthurt.

If there are any actual English majors, or linguistics/literary majors, on this board;
fuck off back to /lit/ you tech illiterate cancer.
We don't want your dumb as fuck kind here.
The kind which compensates for lack of personal intelligence and skills with pseudo-intellectual fedora banter of playing with words. Suck my dick your worthless leeches on society. KEK

If you ever tell me about how you don't like my pronunciation of gif again there will be a reckoning.

It's animated picture you dumb piece of shit.

I feel like the gif vs jif argument is perpetuated by big bang theory dorks who want to sound nerdy to be cool.

But scuba got upgraded from acronym to actual word, like radar, GIF remains an acronym

>>54253778
>The creators of the format pronounced GIF as "jif" with a soft "G" /ˈdʒJf/ as in "gin".

It's not "jpheg", though, dumbass
