how do you pronounce God, goo, grey, great, good, gun, gumption, goofy
plus jif is peanut butter
While I agree with you on how it should be pronounced, not a good argument. Giraffe.
I agree with you but I have a simpler argument, which is the mere fact that this exists: https://fileinfo.com/extension/jif
WOAH. Didn’t know about this. Maybe I can finally convince my mom… doubt.

I’m seeing vowel consonant vowel, that’s a long U in the new word regardless to what it stands for in the acronym.

If you pronounce it jif, you are 100% wrong no matter who you are.

I think what you meant to send is “Joint Potographic Expert Group” with the H removed, instead of the Ph swapped for F

New one I just became aware of:
How does everyone say SQL?
I go back and forth between “Ess Cue Ell”, “Sequel”, and “You Fucking Whore”
This one fits me best
It’s an initialisation, not an acronym, so it’s only:
Ess-queue-ell.
Surely anything else is madness
Your logic is circular
Sorry, I don’t understand
An acronym is a kind of initialism that can be pronounced like a word e.g. NASA. Your reasoning for why it can’t be pronounced as a word (“sequel”) depends on it not being an acronym. But, since many people do pronounce it that way, it is, in fact, an acronym and can be pronounced that way.
Holy shit, I completely forgot about using the term sequel - you are absolutely correct!
And yet everyone I know who has used it pre-2010s ish says ‘sequel’
Yeah, I’m just a dumb-ass that completely forgot
Depends on the context
MySQL: my es que el
SQL Server: sequel Server
PostgreSQL: Postgress
or by itself just es que el
Ess-Cue-Elle
I like to call it “Squeal” sometimes, but usually I call it “Sequel”.
Squirrel.
Ess Queue Ell. I didn’t hear the sequel pronunciation until I was well in my thirties and even then only by people older than me. Then I started working with it myself and heard people younger than me pronouncing it sequel, so now I have no idea. I still hear Ess Queue Ell from the vast majority though.
Like a sane person. Why do you ask?
I don’t think there’s any real argument here. So I turned this into a meme.
this is the way

This stupid fucking argument is proof humans will never achieve world peace
With a hard “guh” sound, because that’s what I grew up with.
Jpeg should be pronounced gaypeg whenever someone else chooses to pronounce gif as jif. Change my mind.
jee ayy eff
It’s pronounced GIF, duh.
G like the g in beige, with a long I. “Zhaif”
gee aii f
