chakoo Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 only time I will call jif in respect (tomorrow it’s back to a hard g). 1 Quote
Jason Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Quote While there have been long-standing debates about the correct pronunciation of the image format, Wilhite was very clear on how he intended for it to be said. In 2013, he told The New York Times, “The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.” Quote
thewhyteboar Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 If you pronounce it with a soft g you are some kind of Ted Cruz-level pervert. 1 1 1 3 2 Quote
Anathema- Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Saying "gif is pronounced like jif" is like, admitting you're full of shit. Quote
