        I don’t think anyone really thinks gif is pronounced ‘jif’.

        They just pretend they do, to wind people up and for attention.

          It’s how I’ve always pronounced it though. For decades. I don’t really care if it riles people up because it feels weird af saying it the other way. Also, the creators say it’s jif so it doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks that’s just what it is lol

            I’m willing to let people say it however they want without harassment. But when they bring up the “But this guy says its this way, so it has to be true” that I get tetchy.

            Things live beyond their creators. This is especially true in the internet age, where information (and misinformation) travel faster than comprehension.

              I said the literal creator calls them that. That’s a pretty far cry from just some guy. None of us have to like it because that’s just how it be sometimes

            But JIF is another file format (JPEG interchange format), so the creator was stupid to say GIF is pronounced as jif.

      If ever there was a justification to send someone to a Cardy forced labour camp, this would be it.

    I sent this to a buddy and he was like yeah its data not data, but when I saw him the next day I found out he had it backwards. He thought it was data not data instead of data not data. It made me wonder who else has it backwards you know?

    She could look past how he pronounced sabotage… but data, that’s where she draws the line.

    EITHER PRONOUNCIATION IS FINE AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBER THEY’RE PLURAL!

    (Psst…I have no idea if I did that grammatically correct. I still slip up due to colloquial usage muddying the waters. Editing hates me sometimes.)

      “Pronunciation”, but it’s all good. Still kinda bugged how the noun quotation has been replaced by the verb quote.
