I was going to say something about working in technology and your pronunciation of GIF but I'm too traumatized by imagining The Owls of Ja Rule

controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 20:02 (eleven years ago) link

i sometimes work in ICT classes and not saying gif out loud wd make the class unnecessarily circumlocutory

thread lock holiday (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 20:03 (eleven years ago) link

if you are a software developer, get a tattoo that says "gif" on your palm and flash it instead of saying the word out loud

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 20:04 (eleven years ago) link

This just reminds me of the confusion resulting for anglophone students of French that, in the French alphabet, J is 'gee' and G is 'jay'.

Wenie, weedie, weekie...

The windiest militant trash (Michael White), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 20:11 (eleven years ago) link

haha, related: an (anglophone) friend of mine was trying to help her francophone, yet quite anglo bilingual boyfriend pronounce the word JENGA and after trying a few times, he declared "This word is full of traps!"

I don't pronounce it, as such:

I guess it's sort of pronounced "whoosh"?

Old Lunch, Wednesday, 10 October 2012 20:25 (eleven years ago) link

only sentence i've ever used it in, likely only with fellow ilxors irl: "oh that reminds me of that animated gif.../have you seen that animated gif..."

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 20:26 (eleven years ago) link
