That's the correct way to pronounce it, although I don't like the way that sounds.
The right way

GA
IF
GIF
>>707562309
The inventor of the damn format pronounces it, "jiff."
"jiff" "gist"
"A GIF is a GIST of a video."
IT'S NOT A WORD. IT'S AN ABBREVIATION. NOBODY SAYS, "JUPEGG"
SAY EACH LETTER INDIVIDUALLY. SPELL IT OUT. IT'S NOT A WORD, GODDAMMIT. SAY "GEE EYE EFF"
>>707562908
He's a fucking programmer, not a linguist.
He could say it's pronounced "Jefferey" for all I care, it's wrong and it's retarded. There's only two other instances in the English language where such a retardation takes place and they're both wrong. One of them being "laser".
Shut your fucking mouth, you and that dork who invented it.
>>707562908
I made a new term. I call it "Snorp" but its pronounced "Wad" Any other way is wrong
>>707563255
>guy creates a new format, decides to give it a name
>some fucking random guy who had nothing to do with its creation decides, decades later, "Nah, that's wrong," even though it's not even a real word that has to follow any linguistic rules
>>707563255
can you imagine if Larry Page and Sergey Brin were like, "Yo, we created this new thing...it's called Google."
and years later people were fighting over it like, "Yeah, I know it's spelled that way, but I think it should definitely be pronounced 'joggle' because muh soft g"
it's a nonsense word. the first guy to come up with it gets to dictate how it's pronounced. there are no rules.
>>707563256
>implying the English language is logical at all
ghoti has three wildly varied pronunciations.
>>707563725
how the fuck does 'ghoti' ever have more than one pronunciation? it's not even a word
>>707563430
>Guy creates a format
>Pronounces its own name wrong because he's an absolute retard
>Bandwagon of dickwads dickride him like the absolute morons they are
Furthermore, see >>707562756
You're an idiot, mate.
>>707563644
What you're arguing for doesn't make sense. The vast majority of people take the LOGICAL approach and pronounce it "GIF". Then there's retards who think it's Jiff and even bigger retards who defend the autist who invented it even though he's wrong.
Quit being contrarian idiots. It's Gif. End of story.
>>707562756
Not how that works at all.

It's like the word "Penis", look that word up and then tell me it shouldnt be pronounced "pee niss", instead all the dictionaries say to pronounce it "Pee nuss" - go fucking figure that one out

NASA
Scuba.
Piss off. There are no rules. Say it however the fuck you want.
>>707562756
that's like saying AWOL should be pronounced "AhWOL"
fucking retard
>>707563760
>it's not even a word
there you go.
anyway, "ghoti" could be pronounced "GOAT-ee," "fish," or just completely silently.
"ghoti" = gh(ost) o(h) ti(er) = goat-ee
"ghoti" = (thou)gh (pe)o(ple) balle(t) bus(i)ness = [silent]
"ghoti" = (cou)gh (w)o(men) (na)ti(on) = fish

google comes from the word googol

I'll say it the CORRECT way, thank you very much.
Listen here autists. Scuba stands for self contained underwater breathing apparatus. But you don't pronounce it scuh ba do you? You know why? Because it's a fucking abbreviation. Gif is pronounced jiff because the creator says so. If you invented something wouldnt you want people to pronounce it how you pronounce it?
>>707563765
>logical approach
It's a made up word. I can't believe you care this much you absolute fucking autist.
>>707564270
See >>707564210 and >>707563970
Kill yourself, autist. I bet you say "Jiff" like the rest of the Special Needs class.
>>707563765
>take the LOGICAL approach and pronounce it "GIF".
Yes, like Giraffe. Your "logic" is just muh common sense.
>>707564258
fucking THIS.
Anyone who pronounces "gif" as "gift" minus the "t" is a god damned inbred retard
>>707564330
>can't come up with a coherent counter argument so he starts quoting other people's posts
lmfao
>>707564330
I don't, but I'm glad it triggers your raging aspergers.
>>707564178
But the sounds made by 'gh' ''o' 'ti' only make those sounds under special circumstances in the english language. They can't possibly make those sounds by themselves. So no. It can only ever sound like 'GOAT-E'. Unless of course it was a name.

Again, this isn't about popularity. It's about logic, as you said. Masses of people can still do illogical things. Thus it should be pronounced, "JEE EYE EFF." It's clearly the only way.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN
Here's the thing..
the 'correct' pronounciation (jiff) popped up couple of years ago by hipster know-it-all faggots that wanted to sound important.
they used it only to summon up the conversation where they can explain and educate others how it's le supposed to be pronounced because that's how the inventor meant it.
The fact is, in spoken language, already archaic format is so common that 'gif' if the correct way to say it.
just like in american english people kept mis-pronouncing 'aluminium' as 'aluminum' so it was eventually added to textbooks and periodic tables, even though it makes no sense in scientific standpoint.
there you have it, no point discussing further. please.
>>707566598
>implying the "BTFO/special needs" guy won't just answer so many times it looks like +2,000 people voted for "Gift without the 't'"

Gift. There is only one root word in the English language that begins with the letters GIF, and it's gift. Logically everyone normal (and English speaking) would not pronounce GIF as jiff. That's the end to it.

I acknowledge that the creator wants it to be said jif, although for the life of me I can't figure out why, but I personally think that sounds stupid so I will continue to say it as gif.
I literally give 0 fucks if this offends the creator, I'm never gonna talk to him and his weird pronunciation anyways.

Holy fuck, way to out yourself as a complete newfag.
Either is acceptable.
The name first came out pre1800 as you can see here
>>707566661
you speak the truth, sir.
and you're the only one here who acknowledged that language is organic and ever changing, and that common use and erosion can sometimes determine what's correct despite what purists say.
Choosy developers choose .gif

This guy is on the right track.. language has a life of it's own, based on it's common use. Latin is a "dead" language hence CONCRETE rules of how pronunciation works.
Hence the need for a rational discourse on the subject... but that is not what happens when any party resorts to name calling in an attempt to draw out emotional responses, derailing the discourse far enough to pressure the opposition into giving up the argument entirely.
But I suppose if anyone really wanted to have real discussion on any subject, they should take it somewhere other than /b/.

It is indeed entirely discredited, especially after you told that poor man to kill himself.
If I recall correctly, encouragement of suicide is a punishable crime, and legal offenses are not taken lightly on this site.
I suggest you find yourself a decent lawyer before a warrant is made for your arrest.

>creator says so
Fuck "the creator" (as if he's some kind of god). The creator is an eccentric douchebag who pronounces things weird just to be a pretentious special snowflake. The 'G' stands for graphic, which means it's pronounced with a hard G. End of story.
The creator can go suck a cock (which he probably pronounces like 'sock').

JiF = Jirrafic Image Format
It's pronounced, "jif." There's no reason to even argue over it.
Nobody reply to the argument shitposter. Don't give him any attention at all. Maybe he'll get tired and go away.

OK, I won't reply to you.
Gift - t = Gif
Case closed.
>>707569028
Is that your argument? GIF is not a word, and has nothing to do with the word, "Gift." They don't even have similar roots.
retards.
retards everywhere.
oh god, they're EVERYWHERE

Yeah. That's all I got.

Great, it's settled. "Jiff" wins.
Mike faggot

As a Norwegian, I pronounce .gif with a hard G, like in 'gift'.
Also, I pronounce .jpg as 'Jaypeg'.
>>707570248
Yeah, sure. "Jiff" it is.
>>707570370

It's Gif.
Deal with it, virgins.
>>707570248
>>707570393
You know, I used to pronounce it "gift - t" but now I'm starting to think it's jiff. Jiff seems more logical now.

>>707570171
>>707570248
>>707570393
Great! So we're all in agreement; Jiff.
I like it when we can come to terms like this.
>>707570370
Well the P stands for photographic so pronounce it jpheg or everyone in here can stfu.
>>707570666
Jiff in hell, furfag
APNG would've been much better anyway. GIFfs are outdated and shit.
>>707570666

It's Gif, loser.
Honestly "jiff" just sounds more logical to me. But who cares? GIFs are on their way out anyway.
>>707573948
>Logical
Where do you get off? GIF sounds more logical, Jiff is just pure retarded.
>>707574107
>to me.
>>707562309
if it was supposed to sound like jiff, it would be spelled jiff instead of gif.
>>707574344
>it sounds the way it's spelled
>because that's how English works
Let the newfags pronouce it however the fuck they want. On the early internet, before AOL unleashed their entire customer base, and before Jpeg became the go-to format, GIF dominated and was pronounced JIF.
Don't like it? Who cares.
>>707575124
>was pronounced JIF
Complete fucking liar talking out of his ass.
Ignore this faggot.
Gif is pronounced "jiff"
It's an acronym. Just because the "G" in GIF stands for "Graphics," it doesn't mean it translates when you say "GIF."
Take NASA for example. The last "A" stands for "Administration," but you don't pronounced NASA as "Nah-Sah."
On that same note, the first A stands for "Aeronautics" but you don't pronounce the first A like that.
>>707575793
Erm, that's exactly how I pronounce NASA
>>707575793
This. This is correct. Let the thread die now.
>>707576265
me too
Graphics Interchangeable Format. Hard G. It's Gif not Jif.
You guys do know that the dude who created gifs was just tryna troll when he said it's pronounce "jif" right?

Everytime Gavin McInnes pronounces it "jiff file" I wanna declare jihad on him

This is what it seems.
He's a programmer and a nerd. He possibly frequented his version of 4chan back when a chan wasn't even a thing.
He knew there'd be idiots debating it for ages so he purposefully pronounced it wrong.
My Gs are hard. Fuck you soft g peanut butter faggots.
>>707577434
My nigga.
Gif wins.
The end.
People don't seem to realize that there's somewhat of an unwritten rule when it comes to soft vs hard G's.
Soft G's almost never (if ever) occur at the beginning of a word.
GIF as "jiff" inherently does not make sense.

>Soft G's almost never (if ever) occur at the beginning of a word.

this whole thread is a perfect example of why gifs just need to be eliminated from existence
>>707579363
>>707579463
Fuck you guys and your words
Fuck the asstard that invented gif
Fuck this thread
Fuck you op
It doesn't matter
Check em, some examples of words where the G sounds like a J.
>digit - DI-JI-IT
>general - JEN-ER-AL
>engine - EN-JIN
>gym - J-YM
>margin - MAR-JIN
Just some of the many examples of where words that have a G sound like a J. Hence, both are correct.
If you seriously are going to whine and bitch about how a word is pronounced, you might as will kill yourself because you are not capable of having a civil conversation and literally everyone you will eventually talk to, in the back of the mind, wishes you to fuck off.
>>707579251

are you TRYING to bring him back?

>argument invalid
>>707579734
agreed. it's sad that people are actually replying to people in this thread hoping for a legitimate reply. All this thread is trolls trolling trolls. It's like watching 2 apes fighting over a banana.
>when you realise that your opinion doesn't matter to anyone and the fact you even reply to a stupid comment in this thread, you make yourself look like a fool.
>>707579898
He right tho, Idk why are you bickering about this
Plus it's been like 4 hours, doubt he's coming back
>>707580022
I don't give a fuck about usage.
>trying to imply anyone here is a certified linguist, less a fat cunt sitting there googling everything.
>implying you'd actively go up to someone who said 'jif' and correct them
Pussy, why are you even here?
>>707564009
Pen is, just like "this pen is going to be evidence when I stab the bastard that says 'jiff'".
