You're all fucking retarded.

English allows two completely valid pronunciations of the letter g.

The creators of the format decided which would be used, and they went with the j sound.

The creators of the format get to do that.

Ask the person with the masters degree in the english language if it *could* be pronounced like "jif"

If he has a brain he will say yea, theoretically that could be a correct pronunciation.

Then point out that the creator intended that to be the pronunciation.

More than likely your english professor isn't aware the creator intended it to be pronounced like "Jif" and just says it the way he's always heard it. His degree doesn't mean shit here, because we are arguing between two correct ways to pronounce a word, one being more popular and the other being the intended usage.

>>680885888

But of course there is a correct pronunciation, communication would be impossible otherwise.

If you're speaking english every word you mean to say has to sound at least vaguely similar to the way it's spelled according to the rules of the english language, otherwise it is impossible to communicate with people.

Accents and general ignorance have changed the pronunciation of some words slightly (For example, the American pronunciation of "Aluminium"), but people can still understand what they are conveying because the word follows basic phonetic structure.

But if you could pronounce any word any way you wanted then nobody would have a fucking clue what anybody was talking about 100% of the time.

> the idea of a correct pronunciation implies there was some kind of central design to a language's development

No, it just implies there are certain rules to the language, which in the case of english is true.

>accents and ignorance...phonetic structure

take a linguistics class. "basic phonetic structure" what does this mean?
there is an idea in linguistics of an atomic piece of a word: ie pr-aw-gress and pr-oh-gress being understood by virtually all english speakers as the same word but st-ee-l and st-oo-l being understood as having very different meanings

>if you could pronounce any word any way you wanted...

you can and people choose to pronounce things so that other people can understand them. the maxim here is that all parties communicating are trying to understand each other as best as possible

>>680887608

> the fact that people can say gif and jif and discuss it proves this wrong.

No, it proves my point that as long as your pronunciation follows basic phonetic rules we can understand what you meant.

You couldn't pronounce it "kugsalkjsbavll" and expect anyone to follow, so obviously there is a right and wrong way of saying it.

> there are "rules" but that doesn't refute my point that the existence of a correct pronunciation implies a design

Yes it does, the pronunciation of words come from the rules of English.

Eg: Words are spelled a certain way following the rules of English (Even if the rules are a little strange sometimes), and then when you read the word you can sound it out, and even if you pronounce it wrong people can understand what you meant because you said it the way it's spelled.

There is obviously a right and wrong way to say a word, because communication is impossible otherwise, that is irrefutable. I'm just that we can still understand what you're saying if you make little errors, but you can't just say any word any way you want and expect people to follow.

We understand what you mean by "gif" because looking at the spelling of the word we can see how you would come to that pronunciation even though it's "jif", if you said it "howzat" you couldn't argue "Well there really is no proper way to pronounce a word" unless you're clinically retarded.

That's not a phonetics argument it's an etymological one. Phonetically it's perfectly acceptable to have a hard g before i, it depends on the descent of the word to decide which sound it gets.

Etymologically .gif comes from some computer nerds who made objectively the wrong decision about the way it should be pronounced, so the correct way is [gɪf], not [dʒɪf]

>>680894992
Acronyms deviate from the pronunciation of the first letters of the words that make them all the time. In POTUS, you don't pronounce it as "Ohf" or "Uhnited". In .mpeg, you don't pronounce "Moving" with a hard M. And in .gif, you don't pronounce it as "Jraphics".

But the acronyms are pronounced like that anyways, and they work. It's not like you're confused when someone pronounces it as jif.

educate yourselves shitheads

>>680897555
There are rules. Unless it's borrowed from French or German, G followed by I E or Y is soft, G followed by A O is hard.

>>680883684
C needs an e after it to be pronounced like an s.
Make up words and see how they sound in comparison.
would you pronounce
"Gap" "jap?"
"God" "jod?"
"Gun" "jun?"
GIF like "jif" just sounds unintuitive. Plus it helps to make perfectly clear the spelling. If you pronounce it like "jif" the spelling becomes ambiguous when there is no obvious text. Checkmate atheists.

>"Better" is subjective and I think jif sounds better.

You belong in an asylum.

>>680897900
No shit it's subjective, that's why I said "I pronounce it GIF" I didn't say "everyone should pronounce it GIF because it sounds better"

It's also why I don't go full autist when someone pronounces it JIF, because obviously it sounds better to them like that and I understood what they meant without making a 300 post thread about it.

"I agree that it should be GIF and not JIF, but that's a stupid argument."
How bad is your reading comprehension?

>>680898582
How it's normally pronounced. Just like I pronounce GIF as it is normally pronounced.

If you pronounce the G the proper way in both words it's confusing. Was done for simplicity.

Pronouncing it 'guif' is wrong, makes your mouth look like you're sucking a cock, if you like sucking cock I guess you could pronounce it that way.

"GIF"

there is no other answer.

been in the graphic industry literally since gifs were created. I have never heard another professional say "JIF", not once.

The creator can spell and pronounce it however the fuck he pleases. Otherwise the discoverer of the antelope dik-diks would be pronounced dick-dicks instead of fucking xylophone.

If you bring up the acronym "gif" more than twice a year then you are either a computer or a no life neckbeard talking to your bronies about memes

I already read it as "gee eye eff"

This.

I don't give a good goddamn what anyone thinks or why. I'm pronouncing it with a hard g, because I bloody well like it that way, and I'll die before anyone can change my mind.

>>680882327
If jif was the correct pronunciation.
then why write it as a jif and not gif?

I just say gif

>>680904470

It's pronounced like gift without the T
so essentially gif.

anyone who says otherwise is wrong and
should be regarded as stupid

>>680883756
>magic e
opinion disregarded

Anyone who opposes the true way of saying .gif (/ˈdʒɪf/ jif) is wrong.
Anyone who uses these arguments as proof is wrong:
>it's gift without the t.
Gift is its own word. There is no relation.

>the creator was NOT an English major, so he doesn't know anything about how to pronounce English words.
Then you can no longer name your child and declare the correct pronunciation if its ambiguous, like Anna (Ah-nna), etc.

>Name any other word that has a 'j' sound as a g.

Gin
Giraffe
Giant
.gif

>its not peanut butter #jif
it isn't fucking peanut butter you lard asses.
and it's "jiff"

The only real argument for this case is the
acronym argument:
.gif stands for Graphics Interchange Format
and you are correct in the regards that it's
Graphics.

and >>680886164
you are so fucking retarded you aren't allowed
an opinion because a p can only make an f sound if its ph.

However, the creators have the power, privilege, right, authority, and entitlement to name
their creation and however its pronounced and spelled. like pronouncing LNDA as Linda even though there's no i.

>>680882327

If you say it like the peanut butter you're a complete faggot and I hope you get hit by a bus. Not even joking. I hope a full sized commercial bus filled with commuters strikes you and pops your skull open and your brains slosh across the windshield

Do you pronounced it

Jif?

Or

Gif?

You pronounce it as the one spelled correctly.

>>680917005
Even the Graphics arguement is incorrect. Scuba isn't pronounced scuhba because of the way we pronounce the u in underwater, its its own word.

invalid.
The correct spelling is /ˈdʒɪf/ jif

>>680902726

>>680883006

G before "E" or "I" is always pronounced like "J". The one regular word that is an exception that I'm aware of is "girl".
