Every day we stray further from jod
“It’s pronounced greg…”
Yiff
wait no
Unless…?
Hiff
You have spoken THE FORBIDDEN WORD
how do you pronounce God, goo, grey, great, good, gun, gumption, goofy
plus jif is peanut butter
While I agree with you on how it should be pronounced, not a good argument. Giraffe.
Gift without the t, I always say
That falls apart when you have all the words like bit and bite, made and mad, same and sam.
I disagree. If the letter your adding is E, it will change the promounciation of the vowel. That’s the function of the E. Adding a consonant like t doesn’t change the vowel sound (eg. How you would pronounce something like “sif” vs “sift” - no change in the vowel.
Lasagna
Fahrvergnügen
I would accept gife (rhymes with life) with hard G before I accept jif.
Then go fight the dictionary, both pronunciations are in there
Gift is closer to gif than giraffe…
Geordie Laforge thumbs up
Giant, geode, gel, george, gerbil. Just sayin’.
same as Graphical.
My favorite is the gif of the skubbah diver with a lassear beam on their frickin head.
correct.
And McAfee!
Sorry, I meant giraffe.
I am underappreciated in my time.
I agree with you but I have a simpler argument, which is the mere fact that this exists: https://fileinfo.com/extension/jif
WOAH. Didn’t know about this. Maybe I can finally convince my mom… doubt.
SCUBA
I’m seeing vowel consonant vowel, that’s a long U in the new word regardless to what it stands for in the acronym.

If you pronounce it jif, you are 100% wrong no matter who you are.

Joint Fotographic Expert Group
I think what you meant to send is “Joint Potographic Expert Group” with the H removed, instead of the Ph swapped for F

No.
This would be the correct Swedish pronunciation if it followed normal rules, as i is a soft vowel.
Yiff obviously

I don’t think there’s any real argument here. So I turned this into a meme.

It’s not jraphics interchange format
neither do divers use “self contained OOnderwater breathing apparatus”, usually written as SCUBA.
Nor do we say jPHeg files.
Nor “north AYYtlantic treaty OHHrganization”
or “light AYYmplification by stimulated emnssion of radiation”
Get the fuck out of here with your logic! We’re not here to be right, we’re here to win!
Right, because that totally applies to all other acronyms.
Except it used to be genie interchange format, or something along those lines. (It is still gif though I don’t care what it stood for jif is dumb)
Gif as in Gift
Not gif like gel?
Nope, not even close. It’s followed by an E.
So a “J” sound like in gift?
Like a sane person. Why do you ask?
New one I just became aware of:
How does everyone say SQL?
I go back and forth between “Ess Cue Ell”, “Sequel”, and “You Fucking Whore”
This is what we do at work.
This one fits me best
My dad has used SQL forever and calls it “Sequel.”
Depends on the context
MySQL: my es que el
SQL Server: sequel Server
PostgreSQL: Postgress
or by itself just es que el
Really, my ess cue ell? I say mysequel 100% of the time. But I’m trying to get into the Primagen’s My Squeal pronunciation
It’s an initialisation, not an acronym, so it’s only:
Ess-queue-ell.
Surely anything else is madness
Your logic is circular
Sorry, I don’t understand
An acronym is a kind of initialism that can be pronounced like a word e.g. NASA. Your reasoning for why it can’t be pronounced as a word (“sequel”) depends on it not being an acronym. But, since many people do pronounce it that way, it is, in fact, an acronym and can be pronounced that way.
Holy shit, I completely forgot about using the term sequel - you are absolutely correct!
And yet everyone I know who has used it pre-2010s ish says ‘sequel’
Yeah, I’m just a dumb-ass that completely forgot
Ess-Cue-Elle
I like to call it “Squeal” sometimes, but usually I call it “Sequel”.
Squirrel.
Ess Queue Ell. I didn’t hear the sequel pronunciation until I was well in my thirties and even then only by people older than me. Then I started working with it myself and heard people younger than me pronouncing it sequel, so now I have no idea. I still hear Ess Queue Ell from the vast majority though.
Jpeg should be pronounced gaypeg whenever someone else chooses to pronounce gif as jif. Change my mind.
You mean jayfeg?
