RealM, 
Time to dig out the sonic shitposts.
GombeenSysadmin, Coming from the jif camp myself, I’d just like to point out it’s jay-phej.
assassin_aragorn, As someone in the jif camp I would like to publicly denounce this abomination and say it does not represent us soft g advocates in any way.
Viking_Hippie,
HelloHotel, 
why do I pronounce ‘JIF’ as ‘yeif’
havokdj, Ur mom is jay
FunkyMonk, Welp, now this is back in my head https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXVhOPiM4mk
caesar_salad83, try this one
graymess,
lolcatnip, It’s pronounced like yiff. I have spoken.
Jivebunny, (edited ) 
Great, now search for communities with ‘yiff’ here on lemmy.
HelloHotel, (edited ) havent been on there but from a quick glance looks to be a lively discussion on our beloved moving image standard. shameless plug: we also have a lovely knot making community.
RiikkaTheIcePrincess, 
That’s a fantastic idea ;P
Still kicking myself for joining Pawb and not Yiffit <.<
SVcross, 
If in your group chat, people start sending yiffs it becomes a yiff party.

AlataOrange, The creation of a thing gives you no special power over how the rest of the world treats it.

Stoney_Logica1, Ghes.
spudwart, Huh?
FiskFisk33, its pronounced gipf
eskimofry, Wupf energy?
IHeartBadCode, 
TheImpressiveX, 
Why don’t you just pronounce it “gee-eye-eff”?
Sombyr, 
That’s what I do. If somebody’s gonna be pissed no matter how you pronounce it, might as well piss them all off equally.
agent_flounder, 
I’m just going to say “graphic interchange format” from now on.
assassin_aragorn, Funny enough, that has both a hard g and a soft g in it.
feedum_sneedson, JEEF
hakunawazo, Is gee-eye-eff the GI:Joe from AliExpress?
Viking_Hippie, Because that way madness lies.
MonsiuerPatEBrown, If you have to spell it wrong to show how you pronounce it that should be a sighn
assassin_aragorn, Now that I think about it, that’s true of more words than not, isn’t it?
MonsiuerPatEBrown, (edited ) I don’t think so.
I think that words have meaning. And the meaning can be true, but pronunciation is not part of the true part. It is only the color of the arrow pointing at truth.
I pronounce oil differently than my cousin in Texas, and I pronounce car differently than my uncle in New Jersey. And to use pre-Modern English (~1500) era spelling ideas we would spell those words differently and probably use different alphabets. And spelling became a standard thing in English around 1750 when Johnson’s dictionary became so celebrated and a primary reference.
So there is slippage in spelling and pronunciation.
But I’m not sure.
giph
cbarrick, Yes!
I’ve always been in the “jif” camp.
Now I have a new counter!
ryven, 
What do you fall back to when they just agree that “jay-pheg” is the only reasonable pronunciation?
cbarrick, Dunno. Haven’t had the chance to try the argument.
But like, I’ve literally never heard someone say “jay-pheg”.
guyrocket, 
Oh Lawd! Someone give her some peanut butter!
Neil, 
Peanuts, ey? You mean photosynthesized elongated armored nutritional unappetizing treats?
Those are pronounced “Feanuts.”
guyrocket, Something something deez nutz!
Haha. Gottem!
someguy3, TIHI
mannycalavera, 
Well shit… I’ve been living a lie.
TropicalDingdong, Lie

BluJay320,

TropicalDingdong, “Lye-ee”
