Right? I'm a nerd, I learned how to pronounce gif before the average person knew what they were. It's not my fault I read about its creation.
choosy developers choose gif
so he's with jod?
Nope, over with the giant giraffes drinking gin with ginger and ginseng.
Here is how much I care about what the creator thinks:
Here is how much I care about what you think:
He’s with Jod in heaven
Yes, along with Gerald Ford, Gene Roddenberry and George Orwell.
I've opted to pronounce it either Jgif or Gjif, that way I piss off twice as many people.
The guy that invented the GIF said it is pronounced Jif. And of course that is a common pronunciation for “gi” words, like gin, giraffe, ginger, giant, ginseng, and so on.
And before you say “but the g stands for graphics” tell me about what the p in MPEG stands for.
I'm just gonna continue pronouncing it whatever way the person I'm speaking to gets annoyed by.
Gig
Git
Girl
Gibbon
Gift
Gill
Giddy
Gigahertz
Gimmick
Gizzard
And none of that changes the “ji” is a common pronunciation of gi. Sure, go is the hard g, but y’all act like gif is the only word with the soft g.
The true stupid move is demanding that there is only one pronunciation. Like many worlds with variations, both are acceptable.
Exactly. It's pronounced both ways
Yiff😳
Do I look like I know what mpeg is? I just want a video of a got dang hot dog!
Ok but like, pronouncing it like jif is dumb
I think the hard g sounds harsh and I hate it.
I don't care what the creator says.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seriously, he waited an awfully long time to announce how to say Gif. He clearly did it just do fuck with people. Just pronounce it however you want.
That's how the guy who created it pronounced it.
He is, sadly, no longer with us.
