Graphics Interchange Format. Hard G.
How do you pronounce JPEG?
Jay-peg
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. So by the other user's logic, you shouldn't be using the hard /p/ sound.
Ah, Jafeg, like Jafar's less charismatic cousin.
I use a hard G but this is a bad argument. I'll just link to this great list of counterexamples:
The one on the left is pronounced GIF and the one on the right is pronounced GIF.
Actually, I'm pretty sure you have them flipped
Data definitely says the hard g. His interests are in being more human. Not pedantically arguing about the way the creator says things in an attempt to upend the majority. The latter is definitely Lore's jam, though
Be more like Data.
It all depends if you pronounce it
Graphics interchange format
Or
Jraphics interchange format
One is my name, the other is not.
It's not Data, the correct pronunciation is Data.
Giffraffe
Jiraffe: another terrible product from Atlassian
It's Gif the Giraffe!
Always pronounce it "GIF."
Never "JIF."
Only Lore does that.
Welcome to
It's Jrrrreat!
What the hell is a gigawatt?
Pronounced "jijawatt":
Way to start another flame war Xusontha! Or is it Zusontha?
I'll never tell
Lore: It's pronounced GIF... because of the implication.
I pronounce it like gin but I don't really care how someone else pronounces it.
Maybe GIF?
They're both GIF, and they're both pronounced correctly, because there is only one way to pronounce it, and there is no other way.
