Jiff, even though I was a strong advocate of giff when I was younger.

When it comes down to it, if I say "giff" and someone tells me I'm wrong, they can back it up with the fact that the creator says it's "jiff".

If I say "jiff"and someone says I'm wrong, I'm the one who can present the facts. Either way people will disagree with me, but at least I can be demonstrably informed about the issue if someone is pedantic enough to bring it up.

I don't know when I started pronouncing it like the peanut butter, but I remember reading about the original pronunciation in 2006. It's not good peanut butter. There should be nothing but peanuts in it.

I know good and well it's technically said like

"GIFF"


But that's sounds retarded and i'm used to saying "JIFF" so that's how I pronounce it in my head.

>>722924762
lmao
>>
>>722925021
This right here
>>
>>722924458
Giff, since, in Graphical Image File, the G is a hard G sound, not a J sound, you would then use the sound the actual first letter makes.

Just because you create something, doesn't mean you did it correctly. There are multiple ways to accomplish the same thing, but only one is the most efficient.

Therefore, giff. Fuck the creator. Overthrow the Bourgeoisie! RESIST!
>>
>>722924458
It is giff. I heard a faggot say jiff the other day. Unless you are talking about peanut butter, you are just exposing your ignorance when you say jiff.
>>
>>722926430

So many fags, it doesn't stand for Graphic Image File, for fucks sake. Don't open your mouth until you know what the shot is, or you'll just look like an idiot.
You're like all those 20 yr olds that think the .com in URLs stands for "computer". And god knows what they think URL stands for.

giff

I don't give a shit if it's named after the peanut butter, spell it like the fucking peanut butter then.

You have a low IQ if you say "g-if," sorry. What do you pronounce the liquor gin "g-in" as well? It's -literally- one letter away. Anyone with a semblance of language skills will see "gif" and pronounce it "jiff."

Gin is pronounced "[jin]."

It's prounonced 'jiff'. The creator of the word himself even said this is how you say it. There is no argument here, anyone who says it otherwise are ill informed. There you have it, irrefutable proof that it's how you say it

/thread.

I pronounce it "OP is a faggot"

This is where I'll lose you, kiddo.

The "gi" sound, when followed by a soft letter, grants the soft pronunciation to the "gi."

>>722925021
Fuck the creator, the creator didn't invent the rules of the english language. The G stands for "Graphics". That's the only "factual" part that matters here.
>>
>>722925390
G. For "Graphics". That's what it stands for. It doesn't stand for Geriatric. Therefore, hard G.

Oh right, forgot, G can only make a "juh" sound. If there's a G, it must automatically make the sound a J makes, and there's no such thing as a "guh" sound. Sorry, I had forgotten about juns, and jrapes, and jlue, jreen. Forgive me, O Enlightened One.

forget "graphics interchange format". let's see if these millennial faggots know what the "v" in "dvd" actually stands for. before anyone else tries, the "xp" in "windows xp" stands for "experience". i'd bet everything i own that the first person that reads this doesn't know what the "v" in "dvd" stands for and they're the generation that grew up with them where as gifs are before their time.

I'm not anyone that you've replied to, nor am I taking sides on this shit, but I just want to point out that you actually gave no examples where a G makes a 'juh' sound. You actually just gave examples of where G should make a 'guh' sound. (eg, gump/jump would have been a better example)
>>
>>722924458
"GIFF" because the G is for "graphic" as in "graphic image file."
