Graphics Interchange Format. Hard G.

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 years ago

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

Gif as in gift. Anything else is nonsense!

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?

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

[-] digger@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago

The one on the left is pronounced GIF and the one on the right is pronounced GIF.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 11 points 2 years ago

Actually, I'm pretty sure you have them flipped

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

You're both wrong, the G is silent.

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago

One is my name, the other is not.

[-] Xariphon@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

Always pronounce it "GIF."

Never "JIF."

Only Lore does that.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 years ago

It all depends if you pronounce it
Graphics interchange format
Or
Jraphics interchange format

Uhm achtckyally it's GIF

[-] ursakhiin@beehaw.org 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

Be more like Data.

Way to start another flame war Xusontha! Or is it Zusontha?

What the hell is a gigawatt?

[-] negativenull@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Pronounced "jijawatt":
gigawatts

[-] macabrett@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I pronounce it like gin but I don't really care how someone else pronounces it.

[-] Downcount@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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 5 points 2 years ago

Whut

That's an actual crime

[-] SnotFlickerman 5 points 2 years ago

Lore: It's pronounced GIF... because of the implication.
