Giraffe-ix Image Format.

Euphorazine,

Garage had two Gs, both pronounced different.

Both are correct, imo. However, it’s hard to stand by that when you have to spell it JIF for people to know you are using the J variation of G.

mcqtom,

I can’t think of another word where spelling it correctly isn’t enough. One must also convey the way they pronounce the word too. The people need to know.

Euphorazine,

An example of a word where spelling it correctly doesn’t convey how to pronounce it is colonel

mcqtom,

Yes, but you didn’t feel the need to add a note about how you pronounced it just now. And I don’t care if you know how to say it right. Doesn’t matter in text.

stephen01king,

And how do you tell people how to pronounce garage using text?

Euphorazine,

gə-ˈräZH

but seriously, any time some one says they use the J sound, they explain by spelling it JIF. It’s just a joke though. No one cares how you pronounce it.

stephen01king,

That’s true, both pronunciations are fine. I have heard your point being used unironically before, though.

nxdefiant,

The G in God stands for GIF

AeonFelis,

Let’s just agree on asking ChatJPT how it should be pronounced and go with whatever it says?

It’s pronounced like the g in high.

doingless,

There’s a lawyer I like to watch on YouTube but once he advocated jif pronunciation and I’ve barely watched him since then. If he apologized I might change my opinion. What’s even worse is that he’s obsessed with proper pronunciation. I think he was just trying to create drama to drive interactions but for me it backfired.

MrFunnyMoustache,

Both are equally correct, so use whatever pronunciation you want.

tym, (edited )

Yes… the jraphical interchange format file extension has no proper pronunciation so we all get pronunciation participation trophies.

thatsux0rz,

Those are some nice jraphics you have there.

AsterixTheGoth,

I use both interchangeably. With no pattern. Much like how programs will spell check “colour”. Lives are changed in equal quantities.

Tristaniopsis,

There is a pattern. In the USA it is incorrectly spelled as ‘Color’. In countries where the English language has not been degraded in the same wilfully ignorant manner, it is spelled correctly as ‘colour’.

model_tar_gz,

Hod approves of this hif.
