whichever way pisses off the most people
watch me pronounce it /χäɪf/ (“hyfe”)
Isn’t that one of Elon Muskrat’s kids?
When I want to be annoying (and when the people I’m talking to are aware of furries), I pronounce it ‘yiff’
“The correct way, of course.”
Jraphic interface format really sounds right /s
Right, because Gs are never pronounced with a “J” sound, and acronyms are never pronounced differently than their full terms. Sound logic there; well done. Never mind any of these:
NASA- National Aeronautics Space Uhdministration
NATO- North Ayy-tlantic Treaty Organization
LASER- Light Ayy-mplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
SCUBA- Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Uhpparatus
FOMO- Fear ohhf missing ohht
ASAP- Ayys soon ayys possible
POC- People ohhf solor
PIN- Personal id-entification number
BOGO- Buy ohhn get ohhn
POTUS- President ohhf the Uhhnited States
YOLO- You only live ohhnce
AWOL- Ayy-bsent without awfficial leave
ICE- Eyemmigration and Sustoms Enforcement
DARE- Drug Ayybuse Resistance Education
National Aeronautics and Space Uhdministration /s
For this logic to be consistent you would have to pronounce JPEG as “jayfeg”
There’s no logic being applied. This is just sports mentality in tech. Like spaces vs. tabs, Emacs vs. vim, Python vs. R, or one of countless others.
But could you imagine if you created a digital standard used by billions everyday and then most people refused to pronounce the name you gave it? Same energy given off by the “anti pronoun” crowd.
Some say gif, others say gif. The people saying gif are correct.
Jif
