Author Topic: How do you pronounce .gif?  (Read 8655 times)




Jif, but both pronunciations are correct and if you don't accept that you are causing dying children in Africa

Also because reasons here's some common points mythbusted

The g in .gif stands for "graphics", which is pronounced with a hard g
It's not unusual for acronyms to have pronunciations that differ from the words' pronunciations. For example, the U in SCUBA is for "underwater", but SCUBA is pronounced "scoo-buh", not "scubba"

The creator says it's pronounced with a soft g
Well, I'm sorry, but if you invent a word, you have no control over how the pronunciation is changed. Covert, pronounced like overt with a c, used to be pronounced like cover with t, for example.

gif/jif sounds stupid to me
Go forget yourself

I pronounce it both ways;
And are you guys seriously arguing about how to pronounce a word.
