He probably also pronounces ‘Gif’ as ‘Gif’

I don't think anyone really thinks gif is pronounced 'jif'.
They just pretend they do, to wind people up and for attention.

It’s how I’ve always pronounced it though. For three decades. I don’t really care if it riles people up because it feels weird af saying it the other way. Also, the creators say it’s jif so it doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks that’s just what it is lol

I'm willing to let people say it however they want without harassment. But when they bring up the "But this guy says its this way, so it has to be true" that I get tetchy.
Things live beyond their creators. This is especially true in the internet age, where information (and misinformation) travel faster than comprehension.

But JIF is another file format (JPEG interchange format), so the creator was stupid to say GIF is pronounced as jif.

If ever there was a justification to send someone to a Cardy forced labour camp, this would be it.

The person who created it calls it jif and I am prepared to eternally die on this hill with him

Die faster.
Tavarin@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
JIF is a different file format, so the creator is an idiot for pronouncing GIF as jif.
