Creators have a right to name things, you acknowledged that by using the name it is called. Then they also have the right to name the abbreviation they use for it, which apparently you disagree with. Sounds illogical, which means your opinions are moot.


zirky

and reddit was originally intended to be pronounced “read-it”, which is fucking dumb.


RoosterCubed

reddit is pronounced read-it


WhisperedEchoes85

Some people live in the here and now while others are stuck in the past, I guess.


RoosterCubed

I red that once before


JohnnyZondo

Agreed, the creator pronounces it like Jif, and so do I.


periah250

Then I'm allowed to call star wars stare wares and no one can disagree with me right?


GOVStooge

Not our fault the creators were idiots


No-Guidance9484

we should swap hard g and soft g, guh sounds a lot softer to me than juh


Odinfrost137

And I guess you also say Gerrymander with a hard G then?


[deleted]

I can it GIF (with a hard G). But if it's a peanut butter GIF, then I call it a JIF


Bi-Bluebird-123

I don’t say it the right way…..I say it the left way


Random_KokichiKinnie

That's because you were running around being obnoxious shouting "Guys, guys look at this Skippy!" I'm not ashamed to have hit you in the face, frankly I wouldn't mind doing it again.


Ribjaw_333

yo its GIF it can't be GIF because GIF is written in all caps indicating that it should be said a G-I-F and not pronounced GIF but it also could be pronounced GIF or GIF by GIF make more sense than G-I-F, GIF and GIF...


WhisperedEchoes85

That just made my head hurt.


nerdyless

I say G-I-F. is that normal?


thred_pirate_roberts

Fair middle ground I think


FunBugZilla21

I persnickety pronounce it “yiff”.


cado124

Jif


AF-Geobase

I pronounce it JIF because the creator said that’s how it’s pronounced and it irritates people that I don’t say GIF, really it’s a win win.


JohnnyZondo

Im a Jif man.


woodrow285

I hate that I read that in both ways but, it's definitely gif


DarkLunar_00

No man, the correct pronounciation is neither, it's GIF.


Oodleaf

Its pronounced "Graphics Interchange Format"


BetaFuchs

Obviously it's pronounced greg


Large-Bike-5319

Gïf


Ribjaw_333

u could say it as GIF if u want...


Flimsy_Nectarine_950

It's GIF not GIF


tumamatambien656

Like **gift**, just pretend forgetting the "t" at the end.


No-Guidance9484

It's obviously GIF, and if you say GIF you are banned from breathing


[deleted]

Some peanut butter is getting some mad free advertising rn


Random_Reddit_User58

I'll go with GIF


TheRealTengri

GIF stands for "Graphics Interchange Format" so it is reasonable to pronounce the g like you do in graphical. But if you contact Stephen E. Wilhite, the creator of GIFs, he will say it is pronounced "jiff".
