Jraphic interface format really sounds right /s

[-] MothBookkeeper@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Right, because Gs are never pronounced with a "J" sound, and acronyms are never pronounced differently than their full terms. Sound logic there; well done. Never mind any of these:

NASA- National Aeronautics Space Uhdministration

NATO- North Ayy-tlantic Treaty Organization

LASER- Light Ayy-mplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

SCUBA- Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Uhpparatus

FOMO- Fear ohhf missing ohht

ASAP- Ayys soon ayys possible

POC- People ohhf solor

PIN- Personal id-entification number

BOGO- Buy ohhn get ohhn

POTUS- President ohhf the Uhhnited States

YOLO- You only live ohhnce

AWOL- Ayy-bsent without awfficial leave

ICE- Eyemmigration and Sustoms Enforcement

DARE- Drug Ayybuse Resistance Education

oh that's easy, it's "dot gif"

[-] Player2@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago

Um, I don't know how to tell you, but that means a wiiiildly different thing. 🤣

[-] iamak@infosec.pub 15 points 1 year ago

Why do people have to pronounced it in any way? Why not say G-I-F? I've been saying it like that since before I knew about the huge debate💀

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

Because that's 3 syllables instead of 1. Ain't nobody got time for that!

I was devastated to learn the creators intended it to be pronounced "jif" like the peanut butter brand

[-] Surface_Detail@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah, because it's a jraphical interface format.

[-] kittenspronkles@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

So do you say j-feg? Because the p stands for photographic

[-] pythonoob@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

One of the common nonsensical arguments heard. What's the next one?

One of the few times I don't care what the creator says, he was wrong.

[-] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

And yet your mind knows it's not possible for him to be wrong since he named it.

[-] NoName@lemdro.id 13 points 1 year ago

It's actually pronounced yif

[-] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 12 points 1 year ago

I take the third route and pronounce it Heef, as in Spanish

[-] EliasChao@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

We all know it's pronounced "gif".

Pronounced it as a soft g in my head the first time I read it, and years later the creator said it was meant to be a soft g, so I feel validated.

When you create an image format, name it whatever you want and if it's any good and I use it, I'll call it what you want

Some say gif, others say gif. The people saying gif are correct.
