Pardon me while I go feed my giant geriatric giraffe, George. He likes generic foods, so long as they are germ free and genetically unmodified.
Afterwards, I’m gonna hit the gym, gently gesticulate while talking to someone about geography, geometry, and genetics, maybe consume some protein gel packs.
As a genuine gesture of gentlemanly genius, my genuine German genie will conjure up some gems to pay for everything.
This morning, I’m off to groom the goats and gather fresh eggs from the geese. The greenhouse needs tending too, with its gourds and guava plants.
After that, I’ll glide on my skateboard along the gritty pavement, feeling the cool gusts. For lunch, perhaps a grilled cheese sandwich with gouda, and a glass of grapefruit juice.
In the afternoon, a game of golf awaits, grueling yet galvanizing. And as dusk falls, I’ll gaze at the glimmering stars, grasping the grandeur of the galaxy.
Then I’ll grab my guitar, gleefully strumming glorious melodies.
Next, I’ll gear up for gaming, getting into go-kart racing and guild quests. Great for unwinding and igniting gusto.
Then, on to grub: guacamole with garlic, garnished with green onions, alongside golden tortilla chips, goulash, gumbo, gazpacho, gravy, granola, gorgonzola, and graham crackers. A gourmet, gratifying snack.
Later, I’ll grab my gardening guide, to gain groundbreaking insights on growing gardenias. Guiding the creation of a grand, lush grove is very gratifying.
Before bed, a glance at tomorrow’s goals: glazing pottery, a new, gripping hobby.
If “gif” has to be pronounced with a hard G because it stands for “graphics,” then the P in “jpeg” has to be pronounced like an F because it stands for “photographic.”
Correct, the file type was named to sound like the peanut butter as described in the documentation, “Choosy developers choose gif,” because the name is a pun. The word “jif” means a short amount of time. “I’ll send it to you in a gif” is a play on that similarity.
But like many technical terms, more people were reading the word than using the word, and people don’t read manuals. Then for whatever reason some fake liguists made up some bullshit rules for pronouncing acronyms, and that argument took hold.
Whatever the reason, the hard “g” pronunciation has caught on, and is now also an acceptable pronunciation.
Hate to break it to you OP but it’s 100% Jif.
The way Jod intended

Get the gist of what I’m saying?
I generally understand.

Does this give a good glimpse into my day?
Most of your hard g’s have a consonant as the second letter, I don’t think it’s as strong of an argument.
Make sure you thank your genie by buying him a jift.
GRAPHICS. GRAPHICS GRAPHICS
That’s the key. Sorry, you lose.
PHOTOGRAPHIC. PHOTOGRAPHIC. PHOTOGRAPHIC. It’s pronounced j-feg.
Acronyms don’t give a fuck what the original pronunciation of the words used to make them are. Sorry, you lose.
Wrong word dummy. lol.
If “gif” has to be pronounced with a hard G because it stands for “graphics,” then the P in “jpeg” has to be pronounced like an F because it stands for “photographic.”
Said the moron
The only rule that matters is common usage. One is the original, one is the alternative, but both pronunciations are used, therefore both are valid.
Any other argument is stupid.
Which in this case isn’t stupid because one is a file type and other is peanut butter.
Correct, the file type was named to sound like the peanut butter as described in the documentation, “Choosy developers choose gif,” because the name is a pun. The word “jif” means a short amount of time. “I’ll send it to you in a gif” is a play on that similarity.

Except languages have patterns.

Patterns? New to English?
It is infact Graphics Interchange format. Not Jirafics Interchange format.
I know the creator pronounces it Jif, but there are lots of people in the world who pronounce things wrong.
I offer up “niche”. It’s actually not nitch no matter how many people say it like that.
Lookit all the nerds I triggered. Popcorn time!
Just like JPEG is pronounced as a JFEG, cause it stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
Why do people continuously offer this argument like it’s coherent…
“There are lots of people in the world who pronounce things wrong”
“Its actually not nitch no matter how many people say it like that”
You’re this close to getting it.
Scuba is Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Do you pronounce it the acronym with a short U or a long U?
Wait till you find out the data embarrasses you.

Well played.
