How do you pronounce ".gif?"
 

Theres apparently a good amount of people that prounounce .gif with a hard G, and a good amount of people that pronounce it with a soft g, or a "J" sound. Which one do you do? We all pronounce things in our heads differently.

Fun fact: The creators of the image file intended it to be pronounced: Jif! Did you know that?

"Gee-eye-eff"

gif with the hard g sound.
never heard anyone pronounce it like jif..isn't that a brand of peanut butter?

I also pronounce .png as pings (jokes)

Yep XD Everyone that I know says jif though. Thats actually how the creators of the image file intended it to be said.

lmao. Never heard the .jif either. Maybe it's different on the planet burger.

I make up a lot of weird pronunciations for stuff. Mainly for project files on big programs. You'll hear me calling something a .derp

me neither. I say gif with a hard 'g'

dot gif
Why anybody would say jif is beyond me ;3

Guh if

Without the uh

dot gee eye ef

Gee Eye Eff

Gift without the t.

Its the way the creators intended it, so its the official way to be said. #justsayin'

Spot on.

This is actually EXACTLY how I say it.

I pronounce it .jif xD

Jif, like the peanut butter.

exactly.

I pronounce it .gif

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.

I pronouce .gif as "dot gee-eye-eff"

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.

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

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".

The epitome of ignorance.

How I pronounce extensions:
JPEG: "Jay-Pee-Ee-Gee"
GIF: "Gee-Eye-Eff"
PNG: "Pee-Enn-Gee"
EXE: "Ee-Ex-Ee"

And so on

Mate, you've already said that twice. It's time to stop posting.

In english .jif but in germany its mostly called .gif

gif normally

No, it's .gif everywhere, pronounced with a 'j'.

No, captain obvious

So your first post was entirely wrong, I see.

Gif. Like the beginning of gift.

Jif sounds mad. Gee to the i to the f.
