I was devastated to learn the creators intended it to be pronounced "jif" like the peanut butter brand
Yeah, because it's a jraphical interface format.
So do you say j-feg? Because the p stands for photographic
One of the common nonsensical arguments heard. What's the next one?
Giraffical
One of the few times I don't care what the creator says, he was wrong.
And yet your mind knows it's not possible for him to be wrong since he named it.
Me too. I feel like no one pronounced it jif before they said that, and now we have to have an eternal debate over it
I say dʒɪf, but the way the person who invented it wants you to say it is a really dumb basis for how something is pronounced, imo.
