I hate when people pronounce it like jif in tutorials and other videos. They are just teaching more people the incorrect way of saying it. If it was intended to be said like "Jif" it would make sense to spell it that way.

It stands for "Graphics Interchange Format" I dont know how they could get a J in there.

I have never actually had to pronounce .gif in real life. In my mind though I think of it as gee-eye-ef.

Jester Lapse 07-05-2012 04:55 AM
I say jif but then david said gif and i was like wtf is that so now i say both depending on who i am talking to

twilit 07-05-2012 05:59 AM
technically, it is "gif" "ping" "jay-peg" ect. but in my mind i think "ping" is real stupid sounding so i say "pee-enn-gee".
