If it's not an appellation d'origine contrôlée, sure.

Just heard a shitty, soppy old '50s song where the singer pronounced 'fingers' as if the break between the syllables came after the 'g'. 'FING-ers'. I pretty much barfed all over myself when that happened.

Is .wav wave or wav?
― .xlsm (P. Flick), Wednesday, 19 January 2022 20:48 (two years ago) link
I have never thought of it as wav.

I think i know it's wave, but the pronunciation of a schoolmate from 20 odd years ago (southwest UK) has left me unable to move forward. I don't think this is like gif/jif where there was debate - and settlement? it's gif, right? - but curious if this is regional or just me and that one dude

i've never heard anything other than a "wave" file. gif vs jif is a fight where if you care you lose
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:13 (two years ago) link
Didn't the inventor of the GIF format publicly announce it's jif?
― nickn, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:17 (two years ago) link
jif is the correct pronunciation of GIF, which is the acronym for Giraffe Information File.

Giraffe Interchange Format, surely.

Who interchanges giraffes?!
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:28 (two years ago) link
yes. then many years passed, and a lot of people who were born after the format were invented pronounced it in a different way. at this point, many people began losing by fighting about which way was best

I would say 'wav', fwiw.
― Nasty, Brutish & Short, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 21:32 (two years ago) link
i always used to say wav. I think I knew it was probably "wave" but I read things phonetically

Waveform Audio File Format (WAVE, or WAV due to its filename extension; pronounced "wave"[8])
― Kim Kimberly, Wednesday, 19 January 2022 23:06 (two years ago) link
waff, or gtfo

*looks in peepcam*
"suave"
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 23 January 2022 23:01 (two years ago) link
In the UK at least, Wav, like suave, never heard it called a 'Wave' file by anyone that has to actually deal with them in almost 30 years in audio.
― Maresn3st, Monday, 24 January 2022 00:05 (two years ago) link
What is it called? A wavv? New to me but seems good
― Karl Malone, Monday, 24 January 2022 00:10 (two years ago) link
Yeah, like 'have' with a w

my problem is i'm thinking of sin waves and triangle and square waves
― Karl Malone, Monday, 24 January 2022 00:18 (two years ago) link
just basic building block components of sound. i know that's different than the filetype and all of that. i just associate them that way, may be alone in that
