But it -is- 'jif'. Use the G like in Giraffe rather than Goat.

The mandibular tuberosity on the woman's skull seems suspect.

Why is Asian second to last, huh? HUH??

Fun fact: when NASA was first formed, people said "N-A-S-A" instead of pronouncing it as a word, a practice inherited from NACA.
InformationAndSourceGuy
The creator of the gif said it was pronounced, "jif"
Faowkon
Just like SCSI is pronounced "Skuzzy" and JPG is pronounced "J-PEG" GIF is pronounced "JIF" you damn nubs.
causality
Jay-feg you mean, since it's Joint Photographic Experts Group.
Faowkon
Pronounced jay-peg
mgollygosh
These are wrong wrong WRONG

This is American English, you can pronounce it anyway you want. FREEDOM!

The guy that makes it is the one that names it and pronounce how he wants. That's how names work.

The missing Mexican skull is mowing my lawn.
nigelandco
It's fucking jif why is it still even an argument. It's been settled by the creator.
saicho
Giraffe isn't pronounced "guh raff". Gorilla isn't pronounced "jor illa". Say it the fucking way the creator intended it to be said. "jif".
iamalreadyaghost
Yeah! Like all the jifts I got for xmas or is it gifts?
Faowkon
Was it a box of Jin, or Gin?
tacopartyinyourmouth
Are people still circle jerking about this?

Why do people circle jerk around saying something is a circle jerk
ThatOneLurkerWhoJustMadeAnAccount
Take my up vote you beautiful bastard.
SlickLily
Actually there would be differences among almost all of these
SuperDork42
You are objectively wrong. The only reason "gif" people exist is that they stubbornly never asked how it was pronounced.
IAmNotAWitch
In terms of phonetics, it is JIF - a pronounced vowel follows the consonant, making it a soft 'g'.
telosxiv
What about girl? Or giggle?
IAmNotAWitch
The beauty of the English language ????
telosxiv
"Here's why this is right." "What about this information that contradicts that?" "Ain't language crazy?" ...wat?
protostar777
But for example, gorge starts with a hard g followed by a vowel sound and ends with a soft g followed by no vowel sound.
IAmNotAWitch
The e at the end is silent. Gotta love the English language!
Havenscloud
I was expecting something a lot more racist
NeynasGhost
He just said he wasn't racist, can't you read?
Havenscloud
No :(
Phantomburn
I expected the Asian to have slanted eye sockets.
pjack
Let's please shift the focus off this and onto convincing people that meme is pronounced me-me ok? Please
DHFORKDPAKDIELLLL
These are incorrectly labeled. All of these skulls save the last are of whites. Negroid, mongoloid, and caucasoid skulls look different.
vavavoooom
I think your anthropology vocab is lagging about 200 years behind
DHFORKDPAKDIELLLL
Then enlighten us and provide the modern anthropological jargon.

I have now randomly laughed while taking a dump in my office bathroom. I'm sure my neighbors are confused.

This comment is under appreciated

To be fair, I only made it two minutes ago, lol. But thanks!

It will soon be highly appreciated

Good...our first laugh of the day.

BHObiWanKendoobie
Well, it IS pronounced Jif. Guy who made the format says so. ie word of god. But I pronounce it gif bc that's how it was introduced to me.
Doomsday321
Neutral response saying that I understand both ways, but pronounce it jif for the same reason as you
BHObiWanKendoobie
Different strokes haha.
Memari
The whole origin of the debate is due to the fact that the guy who made it said it wrong. It's all his fault.
BHObiWanKendoobie
That mother fucker.
favdumpthrowaway
Gods say a lot of questionable stuff that shouldn't be listened to.
impressionableFox
Many people use the argument that it should be gif due to "graphics", but don't realize the p in JPEG is part of photographic.
impressionableFox
So in that sense, JPEG could be pronounced as j-feg, I think it's a dumb argument, bit I like to play devil's advocate with people.
TerraformTrent
I think only the first letter is pronounced like that. USA has United, JPEG has Joint, TXT has Text, and GIF has Graphics. [1/2]
TerraformTrent
Then again, there's tons of examples that go against this (CD-ROM, LAN, ISO, et cetera) so it's flawed. It's a noticeable pattern, though. 2
ToopMoopFam
Exactly. If I tell somebody my name is Bob and they call me Boob ima be pissed.
humblegrumblebee
Technically, if enough people use both forms, both forms become acceptable. That's how new words happen.
BHObiWanKendoobie
"I've heard it both ways."
TheMomaw
I have just coined the word "slamryn". It's pronounced similarly to "horse", and it's my word therefore I cannot be wrong. :)
MetroidPrimeHesTheBest
Your argument is bad, and you should feel bad.
dwilson0725
What does stamen mean though?! I can't use it without a definition, or context at least
ThePsychicZombie
Pronounce giraffe. Is it Geraffe? It's pronounced "jif"
rookiepwns
Holy shit, that's the best use of logic in a debate that I've seen all year! #psychiczombie2016
TurkTurkelton

ChimneyImps
Pronounce girl. Is it Jirl? It's pronounced "girl"
ThePsychicZombie
Pronounce gin.
WackTheHorld
Pronounce graphics...
AdmJota
Pronounce "California." Now pronounce "CHiPs".
MetroidPrimeHesTheBest
So NATO should be pronounced nah-toe because the A is soft in Atlantic? Or can acronyms be pronounced differently than their words?
PirateDickCheney
Is golf pronounced jolf?
MetroidPrimeHesTheBest
It is by the 18th hole, AMIRITE??
ChosonOne
Since jpgs are pronounced "jay-pegs," it made sense for me to pronounce gifs with the hard g to differentiate it
Tanishh
Do you also say 'gelly' to differentiate it from jam, even though everything after the first sound of each word is totally different?
ChosonOne
Uhm.....jelly is spelled with j and not a g. Hence the j sound
jillybeene
.... No.... This is not an argument. If anything having the first sound similar is better
ChosonOne
Agree to disagree.
BatsuitsNipples
Do you like receiving jifts for christmas?
denflash
Yes actually
Dooood
I think giraffes do.
Tanishh
I don't know. Do you like eating gelatin?

Word origin doesn't always dictate adopted pronunciation: https://www.vocabulary.com/lists/432678#view=notes
Faowkon
When you make a damn word, you get to tell people how to say it.
gnomophobic
OK, so if I invented the word Spamblebot, I could say it's pronounced unicorn?
fredzeppelin256
Well that settles it. It's "aluminum", not "aluminium"!!
Faowkon
Well yeah, the brits just wanted it fancier. Twats.
idonthaveauser
That's "tru" (Totally Right and Undeniable, I just made that up, it's pronounced "false")
Faowkon
Pronounce "Gin" for me
ISaidSarcastically
Your argument doesn't prove anything other than the fact that the English language is stupid. Please pronounce knife for me.
BHObiWanKendoobie
The creator pronounced it wrong early on when telling people or something I heard. That's why all the confusion.
Faowkon
Idk, ive known it as jif since windows 95, how early are we talking.
BHObiWanKendoobie
Idk, I just heard it from an unreliable source. Too lazy to check it out. Plus it reeeally doesn't matter to me.
merdock379
Really the creator pronounced it wrong? Do your parents ever mis-pronounce your name?
Faowkon

Man, I didn't say I got it from a credited source. Calm your tits.

This. This right here. Anyone saying "gif" is an assclown. Creator intended it to be pronounced "jif". Fucking respect that.
XanCrews
No.

That's fine, ShanTrews, because that's how I feel your name should sound.
WackTheHorld
Not gonna happen. But I'll change my mind if you buy me a new jraphics card.
Faowkon
How about a bottle of GIN.

Let me take the Jreyhound bus into town. While there I'll jet us both one Guhiant pizza to eat.
