So everyone knows that gif is pronounced "Jif" but few know how to actually pronounce GIMP.

GIMP stands for Gnu Image Manipulation Program.

A gnu, also know as a wildebeest is a type of african antelope, according to wikipedia the word is pronounced "gnu (/ˈnuː/ NOO[4][5][6] or /ˈnjuː/ NEW)[4][6]".

I have heard many refer to GIMP as "gimp" when in actuality it should be pronounced as "nimp".

Please spread the word so we can stop this ignorant behavior.

Everyone I know pronounces gif as gif. The only argument for jif is that the original author uses this pronunciation, and he deserves no respect anyway because of the whole patents debacle.

>how to pronounce GIMP
Don't pronounce GIMP.

Gimp rymes with pimp and blimp
