I come from a generation where this is heresy …. Doesn’t matter what the creator says, the people have spoken.

Reddit is shit, and this proves it.

I pronounce it with a prolonged, guttural "G" in a Lithuanian accent.

Maga: excuse me, its pronounced "jrift"

the funny thing is, unless you're recording yourself and posting about it, anytime you try to explain, the person will still read it as they want to

We can all agree it's never pronounced with a soft J.

If they're going to say it that way, I am going to blow this whole thing up with another option to spite the "hard J" people: Pronounce the J in the Spanish or German way.
*pointing at a picture of furry sex on my computer* "I really like this yif!"

Language is a social construct. If people pronounce it GIF and the idea is communicated. Then that is a proper pronunciation

I was under the impression that the creator said it was a hard G, as in “gift”
Oh well
TheUnnamedPoet
Nope. The creator has repeatedly and adamantly said it should be pronounced with a hard J sound. Everyone who speaks english coherently disagrees with him.

same thing goes for "it's actually pronounced image-r". WELL THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE SPELLED IT LIKE THAT, BUT INSTEAD THEY SPELLED IT IMGUR. IM-GUR
