Katakuna Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Technically, according the the creator of the gif format, it's pronounced "jif." However, I reject that reality, so I call them "gif," as I have always done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgonTheFox Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) GIF. G - pronounced "Guh" I - pronounced "Ih" F - pronounced "fffffffffffffffffff-" Guh-ih-FFFFFFFF-~ GIF. Not JIF...that sounds like an STD, and it isn't even a file type. Yiff Please, not in public. ;A; Edited December 12, 2014 by ArgonTheFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esleyer Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The creator of the ".gif" format said that officially it's pronounced as JIF. But I don't care, JIF is stupid, it's GIF for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nishmo Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I prefer to follow the rules of grammatical pronunciation, so I pronounce it similarly to 'jif.' "Usually, a c or g sound is hard or soft depending on the vowel that follows it. Here's the general rule:When c or g meets a, o, or u, its sound is hard.Examples: cap, cave, colt, comedy, curly, cuddle.gas, gather, goblet, goddess, gum, gutter. When c or g meets e, i, or y, its sound is soft. Examples: census, center, circle, citizen, cycle cymbal.gel, general, giant, ginger, gypsy, gyrate."

SHOCKED Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Graphics Interchange Format = .gif So, is it Graphics or Jraphics? Is it kilo-meter or kilom-eter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evernal_ Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Everyone is saying it's "gif" because it's spelled .gif, but it's officially called "jif", according to the creator. That's the way it is I refuse this, it should be called "gif." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphirya Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 It's not pronounced "gif", it's pronounced "gif"! Anyhoo, I say G-I-F.The creator may have created it, but he's a programmer, not a linguist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
