Gif as in gift. Anything else is nonsense!
Which is which though?

Ever seen a geriatric geologist named George at the gym? How about a giant ginger giraffe drunk on gin. What about a genderless genealogist cutting generic gems?

Sure, but JIF is a different file format, so pronouncing it as “jif” just creates overlap.
Also every single one of those G’s should be replaced with the letter J; English needs spelling reform.
NessD@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Combinations of letters before and after change the pronunciation of certain parts of a word. None of your words have “gif” pronounced a “jif”. If you have one, tell me. I’m seriously curious if there is a word. As of now the only reference I have is “gift” with a hard g.

Illogical!

Graphics Interchange Format. Hard G.

Do you pronounce origin like the state?
Do you you also say “nay-say” when reading NASA, lol
teft@startrek.website 1 year ago
The acronym for NASA uses the same sounds as the words that make the acronym. Same as GIF so I’m not sure what your point is. Mine is that GIF stands for graphics interchange format and graphics starts with a hard g therefore GIF should start with a hard g.

I use a hard G but this is a bad argument. I’ll just link to this great list of counterexamples:

It’s not Data, the correct pronunciation is Data.

The one on the left is pronounced GIF and the one on the right is pronounced GIF.
xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 1 year ago
Actually, I’m pretty sure you have them flipped
ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
You’re both wrong, the G is silent.
Xariphon@kbin.social 1 year ago
Always pronounce it "GIF."
Never "JIF."
Only Lore does that.
Zorque@kbin.social 1 year ago
One is my name, the other is not.

It all depends if you pronounce it

Data definitely says the hard g. His interests are in being more human. Not pedantically arguing about the way the creator says things in an attempt to upend the majority. The latter is definitely Lore’s jam, though

Choosy websites choose gif.
(And if anyone gets that reference I’ll be thrilled.)

It really hits every spot on the spectrum from minion to stripper dances lol

Lore: It’s pronounced GIF… because of the implication.
Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 1 year ago

Downcount@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t care as long as you don’t say Jetpack to JPG like my old collegue used to say.
xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 1 year ago
Whut
That’s an actual crime
Chefdano3@lemm.ee 1 year ago
They’re both GIF, and they’re both pronounced correctly, because there is only one way to pronounce it, and there is no other way.
