So summerfags: GIF or JIF?

>>738237590
Gif. because it's stands for "graphic". If you think otherwise you're an idiot.
It's not "jraphic"
I can't believe people still feel the need to debate this.

>>738237590
Creator said its pronounced like "jif"
Rest of the planet pronounces it following the English language rules as a "G" sound.

>>738237726
Maybe they have from the jraphic period with some other dinosaurs.

>>738237774
If the creator says its jif, then its jif. You don't hear anyone pronounce OPs name (Fa-got') instead of (fag'-it) just because of his parents spelling difficulties do you?

>>738238179
who gives a flying fuck about how the creator thinks it should be pronounced, he didn't invent the English language.

>>738238179
>If the creator says its jif, then its jif
Nope. The man invented the technology, not the English language. It's gif.

creator says its "jif," so it's "jif."

GIF isn't even supposed to be pronounced you absolute fucktards. Just like CIA, how do you pronounce CIA? fuck no, you just say the individual letters like you should do fucking autists. It's G. I. F. - GRAPHICS INTERCHANGE FORMAT

I'm sure you pronounce plenty of weird names the way you're told to, so why draw the line here?

>>738238802
CIA AKA seeuh, jackass. Must not be from the land of the free.

>>738239180
see eye ayy

>>738238802
initialisms are different from acronyms you retard

>>738239180
I pronounce it like ciao

Creator is wrong.

>>738239377
oh, yeah. i forgot about that pronunciation. good call. adios seeuh.

>>738237590
>>738237726
>That's not how you pronounce the word you just invented

How far up your own ass do you have to be to say this and actually mean it?

>>738237726
The pronunciation of words that make up an acronym do not determine the pronunciation of that acronym.

Otherwise SCUBA would be pronounced "skuhbaa"

>>738237590

Wikipedia states both are correct.

GIF/JIF it doesn't matter to me, as long as I never hear British fags say aluminium.

Step one: pronounce the word "gift"
Step two: remove the T
Step three: pronounce the remaining letters

Sorry newfags, but it's Jif. And by newfag, I mean anyone not online before jpeg took over, who had to UUdecode their pics at a DOS prompt.

GIF vanished for awhile, then came back animated and mispronounced.

>>738237590
as it is an acronym, each letter should be pronounced individually and g is pronounced dʒi
it would be Gif not Jif

>>738240276
An acronym is an initialism that can be pronounced like a word

>>738237726
Then how do you say "laser," fucktard?

Your argument is stupid and invalid.

someone ask the guys in /g/ they know a thing or two about computers

>you can put your penis in a computer and fuck it

GIF like Gin.

It's how the creator says it so I'll say it that way

>>738240686
my bad, but my point is still valid

>>738237590

The creator of the file format said that it's "JIF". However, that's idiotic, so I've elected to ignore it, and pronounce it "GIF" because the "G" comes from the word "graphic".

>>738239834

Underrated post.

That's not how acronyms work you fucking retard.

>>738237590
I've never heard someone call it a "jif", what would make you want to pronounce it that way?

>>738240913
Ya it is jif (but i say gif)

Just like png is ping and jpg is "jaypeg ".

Doesn't matter whether the G in graphics is hard or not >__>

That's what any /g/ or YOSPOS lite will tell you

>>738239964
In North America we dropped the second i, it's still spelled that way but most pronounce it alu•minum

Yeah, the G that can be pronounced two different ways. So GIF being pronounced with a soft g is completely acceptable.
