Ok, NeoGJAF, settle the rest of these for me:

.sql

 

[Dany]

jif like the peanut butter.

 

[WillyFive]

Pretty odd that anyone would say it Jif anyway; it goes against all vocabulary and pronunciation teaching I had in Elementary School.

 

[Kwixotik]

Ok, NeoJAF, settle the rest of these for me:

If you stopped learning English in elementary school I can understand why you'd be confused.

I most certainly am!

 

[blamite]

Ok, NeoJAF, settle the rest of these for me:

.bin
.bmp
.exe
.ini
.sql

.bin is the only one of those pronounced as a word. All the rest you'd just say each letter.

I heard someone in one of my programming classes pronounce .exe as "exey" the other day and it freaked me out. I had no idea people actually said that and it took me like four seconds to figure out hat the hell he was trying to say.

 

[el retorno]

Bin.
BMP.
Exzécutable.
Innie.
SQL.

This

though I don't know whats up with the spelling of executable

 

[Kwixotik]

Can someone edit the This is NeoGAF gif to say This is NeoJAF?

 

[Strike]

The way it should be. We ain't talkin' about no damn peanut butter!

 

[WillyFive]

I've heard my teachers pronounce SQL as "sequel". Seemed pretty natural.

I heard someone in one of my programming classes pronounce .exe as "exey" the other day and it freaked me out. I had no idea people actually said that and it took me like four seconds to figure out hat the hell he was trying to say.

I just say "Ex-eh" as if you were to say "Except" except without the "-pt".

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

oh you. go back to pirating "jame of thrones" or whatever...

This is rich coming from somebody whose first language is Jerman.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

This.

I pronounce it like that. Since "executable," in terms of coding, is a noun as opposed to its typical adjective variant, I inflect it differently (and more like a noun).

Damn right, that's my President I voted for, hard g 4 life

Does anyone arguing for the hard G from analogy to the source word ('graphics') pronounce .bin == "bine," as in binary? Because that follows the same logic, and I've never heard of such a thing.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I don't know what I'm more surprised at. That people want to call it "jif" or that the "guh" sound is actually the hard G. Sounds soft to me.

 

[Ominym]

This.

I pronounce it like that. Since "executable," in terms of coding, is a noun as opposed to its typical adjective variant, I inflect it differently (and more like a noun).

God damn it Will. I'll never understand where he gets the ideas for pronunciations. Like Asewus for example.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

I agree. "Jif" just sounds weird.

 

[SeroTyler]

What about .wav and .flac?

 

[littlerat]

If gif is supposed to be pronounced like jif, then how would I spell a word that is supposed to sound like gif with a hard g?

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Bin
Bomp
Exxy
Inny
Squall

You just sound out the letters for ini and sql, you damn communist.

 

[AnathemicOne]

Ok, NeoGJAF, settle the rest of these for me:

.bin
.bmp
.exe
.ini
.sql

.bin = bin
.bmp = bee em pee
.exe = ee ex ee OR executable

the other 2 I don't know

 

[buhdeh]

SQL = sequel bitches

 

[Ridli]

Fuck yeah, that makes me patriotic. I will seve my upcoming jury duty with pride as repayment Mr President.

 

[Cymbal Head]

What about .wav and .flac?

wave and flak

 

[EmCeeGramr]

OK. This prompts me. In programming, I have heard people, professors, etc., pronounce "char" as in short for "Charlie." "varchar" in much the same way on both syllables. That's stupid.

Pronounce character. Pronounce variable. Shorten those. Neither of those sound like "Charlie." So stop that mess with the inappropriate pronunciation of the abbreviated term.

That is all.

Over and out.

 

[Cymbal Head]

yes

 

[Tenumi]

Always thought it was a hard G. That's how I pronounced it, anyway.

Ok, NeoGJAF, settle the rest of these for me:

What I do:

dot bin
dot bitmap
dot ee ex ee
dot eye en eye
dot es que el

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

The creator called it 'jif' a while back

A new debate has arrived:

WHO DO YOU BELIEVE, GAF? THE CREATOR OR YOUR PRECIOUS GOVERNMENT?

He didn't build that. The government built those roads and that monitor.

 

[Sye d'Burns]

I don't know how I just notice it but that title! :lol

[MIMIC]

Never really got why the creator says Jif. I mean the G in gif stands for graphics right? Graphics has a hard G so it makes sense for gif to be hard G too.

Let's say there was a military award called the "Honor of Unparalleled Service Emblem". If it were to be turned into an an acronym, people would call it the "HOUSE", like you pronounce the word "house", not the "ouse.

There's no rule saying that the acronym and the first word in the acronym must be pronounced the same.

 

[blamite]

Over and out.

But pronouncing "char" like "care" is also weird and bad.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I attribute that sentiment to brainwashing and do not hold it against you.

 

[AnathemicOne]

But pronouncing "char" like "care" is also weird and bad.

no it's not, char is short for character and the 'char' is character is pronounced as care.

Either way I don't even shorten it to 'char' when I say it outloud or in my mind, it always comes to me as the full word character

 

[Ace Harding]

Do you soft g-ers say NeoJAF? No. You say GAF with a hard g, because it stands for Gaming Age Forum. If it was Gingerbread Age you might use the soft g, but its not.

 

[lastflowers]

Geoffrey and Jeffrey.

I'm out. Jiff is where its at

 

[Kusagari]

I still have never heard anyone in real life, including professors, say JIF.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Char is pronounced "car", not "care". I'm assuming this is some American thing where the two sound the same?

 

[Grym]

Ok, NeoGJAF, settle the rest of these for me:

.bin

The only one I know is

SQL = squirrel

 

[GK86]

This is why we voted those fuckers in. GIF all the way!

 

[Cymbal Head]

Ok let me direct this toward you:

.bin is the file extension for binaries

do you pronounce it "bine"?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Char is pronounced "car", not "care". I'm assuming this is some American thing where the two sound the same?

I suppose. In the US, the first syllable of "character" rhymes with "air."

 

[Lamel]

I've been pronouncing it NeoJAF since forever.

Hate more.
