My giant giraffe agrees.

If you're still unconvinced, say "G"

The letter starts with the J sound.

Checkmate atheists.

I may sound haughty and knowledgable when I say JiF then, but between just you and me, I didn't know a damn thing about this and just decided to say it this way in my brain for reasons that remain unclear.

[–] FlyingSquid 11 points 10 months ago

Me too. I just always said it with a soft G because my brain told me that's how it was pronounced.

One thing I learned recently is that if GIF shall be pronounced "GIF" like the G in Graphical, JPEG shall be pronounced "JFEG" like the P in Photography

Just droppin that in

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Do I look like I know what a JFEG is?

Would be the worst retroactive devaluation of a body of literary work since JK Rowling showed the world how she really is.

The creator of the GIF format says it's pronounced like Jiff, like the peanut butter.

He's wrong, even though he created the format.

Anyone who uses the argument that Graphical is pronounced with a hard G sound needs to think about how they pronounce other acronyms, like SCUBA, NASA, LASER, SONAR, POG, SIM... the list goes on.

The genius Tolkien, ever generous, gestured for a round of gin martinis from his giant gentle giraffe. Over gentle murmurs from the crowd, I caught the gist of his speech: genuinely it’s pronounced Jandalf.
