    You can either promote JPEG-XL or say yiff for the rest of your life. The choice is yours.

      I love seeing people mention JPEG-XL in the wild, I wish it was implemented in more programs and websites too. JPEG-XL was always the superior image file format. I’m sorry if facts hurt the feelings of the webp-Kings, but them’s the facts. And I will dig my own grave on this hill. Good day!

          Basically my intro to improved jpg is the Library of Congress Sanborn insurance maps. Either download and archive a 300MB TIFF or a 20 something MB JPG2000.

          GIMP is a fine viewer for me, but it is incredible

      No thanks, I’ll just continue to pronounce the g in graphics correctly.

        One problem: it’s Joint Photographic Experts Group, so by that logic, Jpeg is actually Jfeg… I agree with the pronunciation, but your logic is flawed.

          your logic is flawed

          It isn’t, really. There’s no rule or other logical reason to pronounce GIF in any other way, unless you count author intent. In which case you would have to start every phone call with “ahoy-hoy” like Mr Burns since that’s what Bell proposed.

              I never said whether or not the same logic applies to the ph digraph and I’m frankly not sure whether or not it does. What I DO know is that it applies to the g in gif.

            It is illogical if you say the reason for saying it with g is the same as in graphic. Just say you find it easier to read it or like it that way (that’s how i say it too)

          Nah, that’s the novelty exercise class I joined last Tuesday.

              I wonder which order of discovery would be the least preposterous for the two things to be connected: finding out about the exercise fad at my semi-weekly training sesh with Gary or getting the idea of giraffe ownership from today’s hot new animal imitation workout 🤔

          It kinda is. Unless you have a REALLY good reason not to, you pronounce the letters in the same way as you would if you were saying the whole word.

          There is no such reason in this case.

            No it isn’t, you pronounce an acronym as if it was its own word. The A and O in NATO are pronounced nothing like the ones in Atlantic and Organisation.

              Its own word starting with the same letter variant as the first component word.

          Gif stands for “graphics interchange format”, or a graphics card. You don’t call it a jraphics card or a yraphics card.

            Joint Photographic Expert Group. Do you pronounce the image format Jfeg?

            I agree it’s hard g gif, but your logic is flawed.

            Scuba, and laser are other examples where you’re wrong
