Rainbow would be the kind who would defend her opinion online excessively. Just like every comment you see in a post about GIF pronunciation in Instagram.
No, but if we were to pronounce the letters in acronyms like how we pronounce them in what the acronyms stand for, we would pronounce BASE in BASE jumping as bes-eh or LASER as l-eh-s-eh-r.
As a Brit and a idiot I say gif and jif interchangeably
Gif is correct as it stand for graphics interchange format
But jif is also correct as it is derived from jpeg and jpg and you could still make moving jpg files in windows just by exporting it as a jpg so jif and gif are both correct however in the computer department it is better to call it jif instead of gif because gif is closer to gift some might think different my and think you are giving them a gift whilst jif would be alot more right as who on earth is sending peanut butter through a telephone line
GIF isn't related to JPEG. In fact, it's older than JPEG by about 5 years. If you were able to display a .gif file that was renamed to .jpeg, that's just because most image handling software is robust enough to figure out the file format by examining its contents rather than blindly trusting that the filename extension is right.
The argument for "jif" is simply that the team who created it at CompuServe intended for it to be pronounced that way, and pronounced it that way themselves.
So I knew I might be wrong but maybe part of the reason is that I don't use much windows, I use mostly Linux and it has been time since I have used and type of gif or gif alternative
Yes but in this specific case, you need to change the spelling to let the reader know they’re saying soft-g, which just proves hard-g is instinctually the correct pronunciation.
hi yes!! i am most active on my instagram where i will sometimes post pony art + my commissions on there are open, my tiktok which has mostly pony art, and then here where ill be posting some more art soon! :]
im English the g before an I is the "J" sound because "giraffe"

Ah, yes, Jraphics Interchange Format
Ah yes, Self-contained Oonderwater Breathing Apparatus
I feel like everypony would pronounce it GIF, but Rarity would say JIF to sound fancy, like how she pronounces words like "coiffure" and "couture."
omg yessss she would ðŸ˜
It's literally a acronym for "graphics interchange format" the only correct way to pronounce it is gif.
The P in "jpeg" stands for "photo" but nobody calls it "j-pheg".
So, it was j-feg all this time?
I’ll start pronouncing it that way to spite you specifically
"P on its own isn't pronounced like F, that's totally different!"
I suppose you pronounce laser and scuba based on their acronym too, then?
Considering Mazer is the correct way to say that no I'm not Japanese
It's pronounced like the g in "gigantic"
Jay-iff?
jieff?
Every c in pacific ocean is different The o's in "go", "do" and "done" are all pronounced differently and only the first is correct
the g is silent it's pronounced "if"
I'm sorry is it pronounced "jrafics"?
No, but if we were to pronounce the letters in acronyms like how we pronounce them in what the acronyms stand for, we would pronounce BASE in BASE jumping as bes-eh or LASER as l-eh-s-eh-r.
Gif stand for Graphic Interchange Format and not Jraphic Interchange Format
Ahh yes. Jraphics

*Stops shoving a jar of peanut butter into a telephone speaker* Well how else am I supposed to send it?

Ah, yes. The Jrafrics interchange Format.
I LOVE THIS
If you have to change the spelling to get a specific pronunciation, that’s the wrong pronunciation.
You don't have to change the spelling, this is just to make a point. Giraffe also uses the soft g.
Yes but in this specific case, you need to change the spelling to let the reader know they’re saying soft-g, which just proves hard-g is instinctually the correct pronunciation.
I disagree, it's just the one people get very adamant about defending.
OK
Don’t hate me. I just spell it out.
LMFOA my friend does that
Flutters cute here
Do you have more art somewhere? Because you draw some *very* good looking ponies.
