So am I. Gif we can believe in. Hard G, G.

I've done web dev stuff since 1995 and never even considered the possibility that it could be 'jiff' until I heard someone say it this way maybe three years ago. It's preposterous and wrong no matter what anybody says.

it's not a giraffe interchange format after all

I'm pretty sure in Dutch it should be 'hiff'

Ismael Klata, Friday, 26 April 2013 21:06 (thirteen years ago)

xp: exactly, why change the sound of the g from what it is in "graphic"? "gif" and "jpeg" aren't supposed to be alliterative.

next thing I know someone's going to try and tell me it should be "guh-peg" or "jah-peeg" or something equally wrong

joygoat, Friday, 26 April 2013 21:09 (thirteen years ago)

jah peg

Lol, no, Obama speaks perfect Dutch in this regard

I've only come round to saying hard G in the last 5 years or so. Since I first came across them on Compuserve I pronounced it soft G, and since I never heard said it loud or heard it said by anyone else, I just always assumed it was so and said soft G, convinced I was right. But there's no point swimming against the tide of truth.

tbf saying "jiff" is kind of funny so it's all good

and curse sir walter raleigh he was such a stupid gif

It is pronounced dot-get-teh-fuck-out

Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 27 April 2013 00:49 (thirteen years ago)

Shouldn't it be jay-feg, given that the p is for foto?

"The OED told the BBC that it was beyond the software engineer's control to determine how the word should be said."

your holiness, we have an official energy drink (Z S), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:32 (thirteen years ago)

It should not be pronounced at all.

Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:33 (thirteen years ago)

Jod dammit, I've been pronouncing it wrong all this time.

StanM, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:33 (thirteen years ago)

fortunately for 'the inventor' the english speaking word has corrected his obvious mistake

Is this an OK Cupid question? It really should be.

Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:49 (thirteen years ago)

gif inventor getting all butthurt about a specific pronunciation just makes me want to do the opposite of whatever he says

your holiness, we have an official energy drink (Z S), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:51 (thirteen years ago)

Can not think of a more annoying-sounding collection of glots than "gif."

Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:52 (thirteen years ago)

And I blame

I honestly don't care how the inventor wants it to be pronounced. The language will shake out its own pronunciation in the long run, and that will be with a hard "g".

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 20:11 (twelve years ago)

anybody see that xmas ad for one of the department stores? the neighbors are "giffing out"? kudos to them for getting it RIGHT but i felt like was going crazy seeing it at all

Trebek's the authority, I guess.

At any rate, I'll have to look at my local TV sedgeuhwool to see when that episode comes on.
