Do you say jiff or giff?
If you say alound .gif... do you pronounce it as 'jiff' or 'giff'? Somewhere years ago I heard the correct pronunciation was 'jiff'... so that is what I've been saying for years. Who's with me?

I usually use the hard "g" because .jiff is another image format.seodevhead wrote:Who's with me?

I always used the hard G, but years ago in my big bad multimedia school, my instructor informed us that the correct pronunciation was with a 'j' sound. Even though he also used a hard 'g'.
I'm still trying to pronounce Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.
A lake in Webster Massachusetts. If I succeed I wonder if I can make money with my accomplishments.

This is great! I think I'll make up acronyms and mess with the pronunciation just to mess with people. My first acronym is, drum roll please:
S.O.M.A.A.D.L.
Which stands for:
Sit On My @ass All Day Long
And because I created it, I am going to pronounce it:
'soma' 'aye' 'dee' 'el'
Forcing everyone to pronounce that extra 'a' character instead of lazily meshing it into one sound like:
'soma' 'dee' 'el'
please stay tuned for more!
