This is an extremely asinine and lame culture war you're trying to invoke here, in order to distract the public from your unpopular wars, which are all for oil and fascist imperialism, massive unrestrained inflation, general pisspoor economy, increasing wealth inequality, rampant open pedophilia, which you're not being prosecuted for, and more.Hope you get impeached for your crimes of pedophilia, which your president committed with Jeffrey Epstein.

>>545954894The creator himself said it's pronounced like JIF the peanut butter brand.
It's ghif, no I'm not liberal, no I won't respect the wishes of the person who creates the image format.
>>545954754It's another what, when, where, why, how thread by a migger./pol/ is dogshit lately.
>>545954993Listen up, liberal: I don't give a shit. Graphical starts with a grr, so it's Guh-iff.
>>545954904Only Redditors say "ghif"
>>545954754No idea. J isn’t Latin. It was introduced as a letter in the 16th century. At least they don’t say “yiff”
>>545955064By that logic, you must also pronounce laser as "lass-ehr" and scuba as "scubbah"
>>545954894Do you say Jay Feg or Jay Peg?Or Laser as Lass-Ear?

I unironically call it gear-affe. You literally can not win this argument with me, I know what a G (sounds like ghee) sounds like.
>>545956120Giraffe isn't an English word.That's a camelopard anyway.
>>545954993Who cares what some neckbeard thinks, he knows nothing about linguisticsGraphics has a hard G, so does the word Gift. the end.
Software engineer here: It's jif like the peanut butter. I'm taking the bait and I don't care.If you can't say the extension as spelled (or part of a spelling in rare cases), then you need to say it letter by letter. The more english words that match the way the extension can be phonetically said, the more of a requirement it is to use the english word in place of the extension.sql can be said as sequel so that is valid, but only has one match. calling it a s+q+l file is perfectly fine.doc can be said like 'dock' in doctor (so: document, doc, dock, etc), so that is valid, and if you call it a d+o+c file you're going to get funny looks. You can call it a document file as well because that's what it's sort forexe is short for executable, so calling it an executable file is fine, but e+x+e is just as fine or betterjpg doesn't sound like anything "japgghhhahh" isn't a word, so you must spell it. If you say "open that Japgggaahhahhhhh file" at me, I will assault you in the officepdf doesn't sound like anything "pediffff" so you need to spell itphp doesn't sound like anything "peehhhpppp". and so on for cpp/cs/html/cssgif can be said like jif, and jif is a type of peanut butter... also there is the word jiffy as in "see you in a jiff!". In any and all ways, jiff is the correct way to say gif, and the english counterparts are enough so that spelling it g+i+f sounds wrong.gif can not be said like "gehfffff" because a "gehhhfffff" isn't a thing, therefore it is invalid.I think the confusion is with extensions like swf. When said, it is pretty close to 'swift' so in the industry twenty years ago, people would say that a lot; there is some creative phonetics to get that to work (like having a soft t in swift). Nobody called them 'swif' files (with the lack of a t), because again, a 'swiffff' isn't a thing... but even breaking your back to make gif turn into gift (like something you open on your birthday), that isn't what dumb people call for, they call for gehf
>>545954754The GH is pronounced as a Y
It's pronounced "Jeff"
>>545954754I pronounce it as “kike”
>>545954754i thought you guys were making up new acronyms for a second
>>545959494No one cares. I say ghiff.I judge anyone that says it your (the retarded yet "correct") way.
