2Password2Remember, heef, spanish style
Death to America
oscardejarjayes, pretty sure we have solid confirmation its pronounced yiff https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3a31a7ae-4019-4a49-8d63-67c4aff3814f.png
_haha_oh_wow_, 
It’s pronounced GIF, duh.
unnecessarygoat, Nobody mentions the people who pronounce it G-I-F
Pixel, This right here, the only one that everyone can hate equally
aulin, In Swedish we don’t really say Jay-pegg, because it doesn’t flow with the rest of the language. Due to it coming at a time when file extensions were limited to three characters on Windows, most people I know pronounce it JPG (Yee-pear-gear).
Konislav, gee aii f
kek_w_lol, Yiff
aulin, This would be the correct Swedish pronunciation if it followed normal rules, as i is a soft vowel.
Zelaf, No.
UnhingedFridge, 
Jpeg should be pronounced gaypeg whenever someone else chooses to pronounce gif as jif. Change my mind.
SwampYankee, You mean jayfeg?
sirico, 
It’s not jraphics interchange format
turbowafflz, Except it used to be genie interchange format, or something along those lines. (It is still gif though I don’t care what it stood for jif is dumb)
Squirrel, 
Right, because that totally applies to all other acronyms.
vrighter, neither do divers use “self contained OOnderwater breathing apparatus”, usually written as SCUBA.
Nor do we say jPHeg files.
Nor “north AYYtlantic treaty OHHrganization”
or “light AYYmplification by stimulated emnssion of radiation”
mild_deviation, Get the fuck out of here with your logic! We’re not here to be right, we’re here to win!
csolisr, Or you can pronounce it “heef” as in Spanish, just saying
Dick_Justice, 
With a hard “guh” sound, because that’s what I grew up with.
MisterD, JIF is peanut butter
GIF is Graphic Interchange Format
jeremyparker, The creator of the Gradual Interface Forget wanted people to pronounce it with a J literally because he wanted it to use the name recognition of the peanut butter - and I don’t exactly care about their profits or about copyright, but it’s a bad reason.
Fleur__, 
This stupid fucking argument is proof humans will never achieve world peace
jeremyparker, So wealthy people exploit vulnerable people and coordinate to fill the airwaves with anti-human propaganda because some people mistakenly use a J sound?
RandomVideos, Imagine talking in a language where people cant decide how words are pronounced
ivanafterall, 
I just read it as it appears, phonetically, like any other word. Gif.
apotheotic, That approach must create quite a comical result when you read words like “priest” or “social”
But yes, Gif (g like get) is the correct option
TheAnonymouseJoker, 
Jif as in Jimmy.
averyminya, Gif like Gus not gif like just
