(G)IF or (J)IF What side are you on

PS4.

The P is silent.

GIF, as in "like I GIF a fuck"

GIF me a break.

GOD DAMN IT.

People say its guhif because Graphics, but I say abbreviations based in the letters, so think, Gee Eye Ef said ten times fast would be Jiff. I would also call .png files "Pinch" or "PinJ",

The dude who made it up said it was jif recently, which is why I am 100% on board with it being Gif. As in
GIF FUCKED DUDE WHO MADE IT UP

But really, jif just sounds too stupid to exist.

I like JIF peanut butter but I also like animated GIFs...tough call

We don't want no god damn jiffers around these here parts.

GIF, jif sounds meh. I mean really, jif? JIF?

I keep all of my pungees in separate folders from my jurpurgs and teeeyeuffuffs.

I'm from Sweden so GIF is the obvious choice coming from my language

Jif. That's how it's pronounced. All you guys that say Gif are crazy.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/10072420/Creator-of-the-GIF-says-it-is-pronounced-Jif.html

He's wrong.

I am crazy in that case. In Sweden G is G, not J. CRAAAAAAZY huh?

HE CREATED IT. He can't be wrong!

I don't give a shit what the creator calls it, it is in the public domain, the public decided. It is not peanut butter. GRAPHIC Motherfucker!

Sorry, but the poll numbers don't lie. If you want to sound like a crazy person go ahead, just know that everyone will think you're crazy!

You're suggesting that the creator is infallible?

I heard that he created the gif in six days and on the seventh day he rested.

There is creationism. They are wrong.

I've always said "jiff," but in the light of the comment about how it would forever break the potential ".jif" format pronunciation, I'm okay with "giff."

I personally don't have a preference.

Jif sounds too dirty and sleazy.

Gif 4 life.

Soft G motherfucker!

(I am however, a hard G if you know what I'm sayin')

We don't take kindly to them "jifs" 'round these parts.

Like Patrick said on twitter even if you made it it doesn't mean that you dictate the way other people pronounce it. Deal with it.

I'm more of a Skippy guy myself.

Jee Eye Eff

JIF master race.

JIF - as in Jraphics Interchange Format.

Both options should just have been (G)if.

Jraphic

GIF GIF GUH-IFF

Jif belongs on a sandwich, not in my computers.

Personally I think this video covers it pretty excellently.

I accept that hard g gig is correct but I still pronounce it with a soft g jif because I don't care about your rules, dad.

Gif. Jif barely makes sense inte english and makes no sense in any other language.

I personally would love me some JIF PEANUT BUTTER...That's why GIF (hard g) is not (J)IF because JIF reminds me of peanut butter and GIF is a file format. I would like it to remain that way and not confuse one with the other during a conversation (e.g. "are you talking about the FILE FORMAT or PEANUT BUTTER?"). DOES NOBODY ELSE FEEL THE SAME WAY AS I DO??

EDIT: Sorry I didn't read the earlier comments. Hehehe! Glad I'm not the only one!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2328845/Its-pronounced-jif-End-story-Inventor-GIF-finally-declares-file-formats-pronounced.html

Inventor of the GIF says it's a soft G. I still don't like it, but I'll honor his wishes. I mean, you'd get upset if everyone mispronounced your kid's name, right?

Oh BUT IT DOES EXIST! Also don't call Jif stupid, its pretty good. :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jif_(peanut_butter)

P.S. I also pronounce GIF with a hard G by the way so I agree with you on that part.

It's a fucking g.

I wish there was a choice here alone the lines of "I don't care, it's not important" or "Aren't there better things to get upset about?" But considering wars have been waged over the outcome of a football game, I'm going to bow out of this one.

I don't think it's worth getting worked up about though.

Poll results make me feel a lot better about the community.

What kind of fucking savage says jiff ?

Graphics Interchange Format.

GIF.

And I won't get it confused with peanut butter.

If the G in GIF stands for Graphics then why the hell would it sound like JIF ?

I don't give a phuck that the guy who created it says it sounds like JIF (Peanut Butter).

Always said it that way and always will.

THIS EXACTLY!!! JIF IS PEANUT BUTTER BITCHES!!!!
