From here on out I will say "Jay-feg" instead of "Jay-peg" for JPEG since the "P" stands for "Photographic"

I don't trust you guys an inch on things like this. I've seen how you pronounce "imgur".

If the creator assigns the letters "RLE" to their creation, and says that it should be called "frog" (frawg); then it should be referred to as "frog" for those in the know. Everyone else will question "RL-E?" (really?!?)

The format was introduced in the mid-80s. The creators called it jiff with a "j" around the office until they became aware of another graphics format that was called JIFF and the related JFiF. This format later became the basis for JPEG. At that point they started calling it gif with hard G. The history is there whether you choose to respect it or not.

Not what the creator said.

it's pronounced "skippy"

The A in NATO is Atlantic. There is precedence for the acronym being pronounced different.

It wouldn't be JAFFICKS it would be GIRAFFEICKS. Which makes since this being Imgur.

Oh for Jod's sake - here we go again with this nonsense

I feel like "gift" without the T is the closest word and the best argument for hard G
WilliamWeird
They weren't taken away for saying Gif with a hard G. It was because they pronounced Imgur "I'm Gir"
Mxlespxles
But, what if I'm Gir??
Talorin23
So the best argument is pretty bad? We agree.
SomeDetroitGuy
"Other words spelled very similar are frequently pronounced in a very similar way" is a "pretty bad" argument? Give a gift, you git.
WilliamWeird
Generally, gesticulations of generosity over genuine and germane articles don't sway the people who prefer the incorrect Germanic G, when a soft G usually is referred to french and Latin words of categorization following an "I" or "E"
WilliamWeird
Etymology haters will say it's fake
MadSprite
If only a giraffe could tell us the right way to call it.
NeverMetAGoodMod
Well the guy who created it says it's 'jif' so...
Akaszkronos
And he was laughing everytime someone used it thinking what idiot believes that.
nootherusernameworked
And? Sometimes people who create good things are horrible or stupid.
NeverMetAGoodMod
Maybe they are. Doesn't change a thing. You don't argue how to pronounce Harry Potter with J. K. Rowling even though she sucks. He said it's 'jif'. That's the name he chose for the thing he created. That's what it's called.
