Graphics Interchange Format. Hard G.

How do you pronounce JPEG?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] r2vq@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

One is my name, the other is not.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

It's not Data, the correct pronunciation is Data.

Jiraffe: another terrible product from Atlassian

[–] IzzyData@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

It's Gif the Giraffe!

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Always pronounce it "GIF."

Never "JIF."

Only Lore does that.

What the hell is a gigawatt?

[–] negativenull@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Pronounced "jijawatt":
gigawatts

Way to start another flame war Xusontha! Or is it Zusontha?

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 1 year ago

I'll never tell

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Lore: It's pronounced GIF... because of the implication.

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I pronounce it like gin but I don't really care how someone else pronounces it.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago
[–] Chefdano3@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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.
