Why the fuck is this a big deal all of the sudden? I saw Chris Hayes and some buzzfeed mongoloids bringing this shit up on twitter earlier this week.

Now a rerolled poll? Here I come God! /wrists

it's even simpler than the rules of english. It's Jiff because they arose from jpegs. You don't have to lrn2grammar, you just have to pay attention.

And plus "giff" sounds french. Like I said you are subhumans. Jiff sounds distinctly aryan influenced and naturally superior on the simple merits of being better.

G.U.I. gooey / jewy is a better argument because there is no factually correct answer.

Nobody is going to tell me how to properly pronounce things; this is America, for fuck's sake.

In my MANY years of computing I've never heard it pronounced with a hard-"g". Always as "jiff".

In order to make the hard G sound before E or I, English is forced to use the letter G because no other letter stands for the same sound, which is inconsistent with the rule: girl, get, gear, gift. Sometimes, in order to maintain the hard G sound before E or I and still be consistent with the Rule, English will insert a silent U: guess, guide, guild. [/url]

A jpeg is a fucking image, images don't move. How the fuck are you going to make a giff with a picture, string together 100 of them and make a flipbook?! Jesus tittyfucking christ.
