Stahp. Redditors for 2 years and 1 year respectively and still do not know that .gifv (it's pronounced jif-fau, by the way, because it was created by a German) is the better format? And no one is correcting you two numptyheads? You two have been served with two periwinkled votes, consider them to be your yellow cards. -.-

[–]evergreennightmare 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

.gifv (it's pronounced jif-fau, by the way, because it was created by a german)

ah, but in that case, it has to be pronounced with a hard g. german never pronounces g as [d͡ʒ]

[–]meepmorp 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

ah, but in that case, it has to be pronounced with a hard g. german never pronounces g as [d͡ʒ]

Except that it's a foreign term, which often don't follow the native orthography-to-phonology mapping. I've no idea how gif is pronounced in German, but it's entirely possible that it came into the language with the affricate rather than the velar stop pronunciation. Adding a natively pronounced letter to the end of an foreign term is fairly unexceptional.

[–]evergreennightmare 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

good point. now that i think of it, "gentleman" and "gender" definitely keep the soft g. here's a source that has gif using a hard g though

ps while i was looking things up i noticed that wiktionary lists [d͡ʒɪf] as the normal english pronunciation and [gɪf] as the u.s. pronunciation.

[–]meepmorp 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've heard free variation in pronunciation in the U.S, within my local dialect region - perhaps unsurprising, since it's a word one has typically has first read rather than heard.

        Honestly, both pronunciations are possibly given the convoluted rules of the English language, and we know how the creator of the file format says it's pronounced.

        Ask Brits how they pronounce scone, that creates a huge debate in the UK.

        [–]mazcaMy flair contains this sentence. 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

        Yeah, it's a remarkably contentious argument that I've run into so many times. It's particularly weird because it's not like it's a northern-vs-southern thing, or an upper-vs-lower class thing - the two pronunciations seem really randomly distributed, so you never know when you're going to run into somebody who's wrong.

        (for anyone unfamiliar with this argument, scone can be pronounced to rhyme with gone or with cone)

        [–]halfar [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

        The people who say it like "gone" are the wrong ones.

        In Australia it generally rhymes with gone. But then, in Australia, the color Maroon is generally pronounced sort of like maron and clerk is like clark.

        [–]_watchingsub mod shillionaire 40 ポイント41 ポイント  (7子コメント)

        This debate is so fucking annoying.

        Creators do not get to dictate how a word is pronounced. That is not a valid argument.

        The meaning of acronyms does not dictate how a word is pronounced. That is why GATT is generally pronounced with a hard g sound, even though the G stands for general.

        There is no "one weird trick!" to force people to agree w/ your pronunciation because it is entirely arbitrary because there are no rules about how to pronounce this sort of thing! Stop caring about it!

        Personally, I follow PBS Idea Channel's example and pronounce it jife.

        Feel free to argue though I guess

        [–]DocSwissKabal Wins! Fatality! 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

        I go with jife too, mostly to take the piss out of people who argue about how it's pronounced.

        [–]ghost_of_tuckels [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

        Exactly. The purpose of language is to be understood, not to abide by random rules & precedents. You can say gif however you want, as long as people understand what you mean when you say gif.

        [–]VeeronSRDD is watching you 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

        jife

        That's still kind of taking a position, since the first consonant is what the debate is all about.

        [–]_watchingsub mod shillionaire 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

        I'm happy to pronounce it gife as well. I'm just taking a firm stance on the fact that the rest of you plebs don't understand that "I" isn't pronounced "ih"

        [–]veggiter [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

        Is this a joke?

        [–]_watchingsub mod shillionaire [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

        Sorry, I thought it was clear considering my stance in my first post of "grr I get legitimately angry at people who think there are hard rules regarding the pronunciation of acronyms"

        I am, for the record, well aware that the letter "I" has multiple pronunciations, and am not actually mad at people who choose to use "ih" for most words that this letter appears in.

        I am not joking about pronouncing it jife though I actually do do that, it pisses off my roommate a lot.

        dont blame you for asking if it is a joke, as linked thread demonstrates people get really ridiculous about this topic

        [–]threeys 84 ポイント85 ポイント  (34子コメント)

        I'm sorry but you're just entirely wrong. People were so upset when they found out the creator says it's pronounced with a soft g. But they just couldn't accept defeat and clung on to their stupid wrong opinion. You're just completely wrong and there's nothing you can do about it

        [–]JCQ 53 ポイント54 ポイント  (32子コメント)

        The creator did indeed say it was a soft G.

        [–]JCQ 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (22子コメント)

        That's true but "the creator said ___" isn't really a good argument when talking about language. We have no authorities to control what's correct and incorrect in language, so what's 'correct' is relative and is determined by common usage rather than the arguments of individuals. That's why I was hoping everyone here was joking. The creator could say the correct way to pronounce it is "quif" or "biff" or "titty sprinkles" but his opinion isn't worth chicken giblets. As both pronunciations are common the only people who are incorrect in this discussion are those who claim any pronunciation is incorrect.

            How would this be uninformed though? Agree or disagree but this isn't based on not knowing information, right?

            [–]JCQ 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (4子コメント)

            It's based on not knowing information related to how language works. The way he pronounces gif isn't uninformed, it's this insistence that people who pronounce it differently have a "stupid wrong opinion" that is. There isn't a right or a wrong in the English language, there's only convention and that convention is determined by common usage rather than any language authorities. That means the creator of a word is not an authority on how that word is spelled or pronounced. Just like people who say "your use of literally to mean figuratively is incorrect!" people who say that the hard g pronunciation of gif is incorrect may as well just be saying "I don't understand how language works". If you can't see how it's uninformed to say that the soft g you should consider what the implications of holding up a certain pronunciation as correct would have upon the hundreds of diverse accents and dialects in the English language.

            [–]wherethebuffaloroam [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

            Eh, if you pronounce NASA a different way people who work there could reasonably correct you. But if you want to argue the point, go to the original thread. This is for making fun of internet arguments

            [–]JCQ [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

            Yep, but that's because there are no alternative pronunciations of NASA in widespread use. I'm not interested in arguing because there's nothing to argue about. One position here is commonly accepted by mainstream linguistics, the other is not.

                  when it comes to any language. "Everyone believes it, so it is true" is an essential concept when it comes to defining words. If most people believe a word's definition is something other than its dictionary definition, then I'm inclined to say that the majority belief is correct.

                  I'm not fine with that, im grrr is a much more elegant pronunciation.

                  Well I used to pronounce it ihm gurr but knowing that that's the norm I'm going to switch it up to eym gurr and then make up some "rules of English" to defend that, seeing as I get off on being "the only right person in the room"

                  But there's no letter between M and G. If it were "imagur", it'd make sense. But it's imgur.

                  ... I have been pronounciating it "IGMUR" all this time and have just been hit with the realization that not only am I not spelling it right, I'm not even remotely saying it right either. LOL

                      I've spent many an enjoyable day deliberately changing my pronunciation of "SQL" just so it conflicts with however the person i'm talking to pronounces it.

                      Pronouncing it "Sequel" or literally as "S-Q-L" are both pretty common. And as a bonus, if you run into a group of people that use either, you can instead switch to pronouncing it as "squell" or indeed "squeal" just so you can get as many people as possible to cringe.

                      The thing that irks me about using the "jif" pronunciation is that the creator only came out and told us how to say it 30 years after inventing the format. Maybe if he didn't dilly dally we would all be saying "jif" and not "gif". It is like protecting your copyright. Gotta get people who are infringing right away. You lose all power waiting too long.
