I've always pronounced it correctly and I never knew or cared what it stood for. Guess I'm just based as fuck.
>>54253778
yes and scuba is pronounced scooobah not skuhbah
>>54253778
This JIFF is all this thread deserves.
THE WORD "GRAPHICS" HAS A HARD G SOUND
ERGO, GIF DOES TOO
IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE
THE CREATORS ARE LITERALLY ILLITERATE

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!
Do you pronounce SCUBA as Scubb-ah? NASA as Nah-say?

I say JEE AYE EFF
But "bagpipes" converted me to gif
>>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.
>>54254227
NASA = NA-SA
Do you even

How is gijutsu pronounced?
>>54254474
Yeah, therefore the "graphics" being pronounced with a soft g doesn't mean "GIF" is.
>>54254446
This needs to stop
IT'S PRONOUNCED
>TSCHJIF
YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKERS
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.
>closest words to gif in the english language
>gift
>git
this isn't even a debate
It's gee i ef you dum dums
Is it JITHUB? No, it's GitHub. So it's GIF, not JIF
Pleb tier : jif
Good tier : gif
God tier : webm obviously
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

It' pronounced zip disquette.

Gin and juice says otherwise.
>>54253778
I pronounce it out dated.
>>54253778
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.
>>54253792
But scuba got upgraded from acronym to actual word, like radar, GIF remains an acronym
>>54253873
The pronunciation of the U in Underwater and SCUBA disagree with your formula.
>>54253778
I remember porn back in the BBS days saying "Choosy perverts choose GIF" (implying it rhymed I guess, but IDK, I've heard both way so...)
>>54253778
Well, google is pretty easy to use...
>>54256888
Elaborate please
>>54259179

>>54259208
How can a filetype be nonfree?
>>54253873
Yes, and JPEG is pronounced jfeg
Fuck you
>>54254857
*wags tail*
>>54258918
I never authorized that.
Fun fact
According to her own language yolandi visser's name is pronounced jo-lawndi wesser
>>54260131
Permits usage of nonfree codecs. It's a permissive free and represents a clash of ideals.
>>54260769
the j is pronounced as a Y
so more like "yiffag"
>>54253778
>The creators of the format pronounced GIF as "jif" with a soft "G" /ˈdʒJf/ as in "gin".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF
Go fuck yourself commie.
>>54260769
It's not "jpheg", though, dumbass
so, what about webm? web-em, wee-bum, double-u-ee-bee-em, weeaboom, etc. maybe if it didn't have a shitty acronym, it would catch on.
