Must have stumbled upon the Germanic gerbil gestation GIFs

No, but I did stumble upon some Hans Gruber gifs:

 

[CrazyDude]

So this how GAF will split. One Gaf wil be Jaf and the other Gaf.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

"Jif" makes you sound like an illiterate. Just saying.

 

[Gold_Loot]

Suffer like Hard G did?

 

[moojito]

This is the only jif. Down with cif!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Graphics Interchange Format, motherfucker.

Jaf can take their Jifs and leave. Ain't not no room for any Neojaffers here

 

[ronito]

I've never wanted to be president but now I must set this travesty right!

 

[stufte]

Graphics Interchange Format, motherfucker.

This is really the reason, honestly. Hard G, as in Graphics.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

For the record, while I'm firmly in the hard G camp, it WAS originally specified as "JIF" by the format's creator but something something plasticity of language something something common use reflects standardization reflects common use something something

 

[Rebel Leader]

Spoiler

Neither. Its pronounced 'Jif' because the creator said so.

fuck the creator

he should have done it .jif and not .gif


so hell no

HARD G

 

[anaron]

thank you based obama

 

[Hot Coldman]

Give him the third term.

 

[EloquentM]

Lol jraphics. Get that shit outta here.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It is factually jiff but people just don't like it so they go into denial mode. I mean if the person that made it says so, it's what it is.

 

[cloudwalking]

I think the more cutting edge question Obama should be tackling is how PNG should be pronounced, hard or soft G on the end. Personally I like "pung"

 

[Grym]

Wait I don't get it. I always called it jif like Jiffy Lube of Jif peanut butter. Is this telling me its actually gif as in gift without the T???

Your descendents will be embarrassed by your ignorant ideology and refusal to embrace the truth

It's "Ping". I didn't think this one was up for debate...

 

[B For Bendetta]

It's actually a soft G, a long I and a silent F

Pronounced like Jie or Jye

If the person that invented any object pronounced it a certain way, that would be the pronunciation, because that's how it was intended. Might make more sense another way but it's still not what it is.

Spectacular thread title.

Obamas internet.

I'm sure you sound very well-read when you say "jug-ment" in casual conversation.

 

[cloudwalking]

Obama is clearly running amok changing the pronounciation of our beloved file formats. I am preparing for the inevitable!

 

[anaron]

Graphical gifts.

GIFS.

So it's Dgif now?

Nah, the guy who discovered aluminium pronounced it wrong.

What am I doing?

If the mass public say otherwise, then tough luck on the creator. Mass will always beat out the creators intentions.

Wait, was it changed to .DGIF while I wasn't looking?

Edit: Damn it, beaten!

[akira28]

It's clearly GIF as in Graphics, not JIF as in Jraphics (Giraffe-ics?).

giraffe-pics.

 

[King Boo]

i'll vote for obama again for 3rd term. of course we'll have to get rid of that other rule first

 

[Busaiku]

Choosy moms choose Jif.

 

[Kisaya]

This is bullshit.

Obama has spoken and

[Anoregon]

But what about words like, Giant, or Genesis?

I can confirm Evilore says it with a hard G

 

[speculawyer]

Well if this was Giant Interchange Format you might have a point.

 

[Shambles]

Some people think "GIF" should be pronounced "JIF," and some people think it should be pronounced "GIF." There's apparently a raging debate on the subject.

There is no debate. There is the right side and the side that likes to say JIF.

Does anyone think it's supposed to be pronounced Neo-JAF? Of course not.

That's it, I'm moving to reddit
