I don't believe you. Literally everyone who encounters the acronym will naturally pronounce it gif.

The whole point of the debate is because people "assumed" they were correct the entire time and are now fighting for their way of interpreting it. So why would you assume I changed from GIF to JIF? I don't care what the creator says tbh, I also don't care if you say GIF. I think the argument is funny as fuck. The English language sucks and both sides have an argument. There is a clear and concise rule but there are many exceptions to the rule, so wtfever.

The only people who pronounce it "jif" are people who actually took the time to look it up so they can be right and signal how smart they are for knowing what the creator says. They get to feel special and swoop with their faggoty correction anytime someone pronounces it like a normal person would.
Talking about grammar rules and all this shit is stupid. Anyone who says "jif" is a huge faggot. Its indisputable. This is everyone who says it.
This reminds me of being a history major and fellow nerds would speak names, places, etc which they had only read but never heard. Paris on the sign river, which is near ver sale ease. Antioch with a cheese sounding ch. Gaius pronounced god-knows-what. My favorite was the strait of "GIH bruh tar"
Being wrong because you have to look it up like a nerd is still wrong.

The problem is that it's a word that people read a lot and don't say out loud very often, so most people decided how it was pronounced instead of actually hearing it.
I have said "jif" from the beginning because I'm not an illiterate mouth breather, but if after having it confirmed, you still want to say it with a hard G, then you probably suck cock by choice.
EDIT: BTW, my brother used to be a union electrician and he talks about once hearing a safety instructor tell the class to watch out for "flying derbis".

Same. Although I honestly don't remember if I just knew it was pronounced that way or if I looked it up at the time

Ah, you're one of those red leaf maple eaters up north. That explains the flamboyant homosexuality.

Jif. Even the article calls people who say it gif like gift douches ("as a majority of Mac users seem to prefer").

If the guy wanted it pronounced "jif" he should have called it ".jif". It's like those people who insist on giving their kid a normal name but spelling it in a stupid way. Fuck off snowflakes, you're not special and you don't get to dictate your retard ways onto the rest of us.

Except it's an acronym so the spelling isn't the issue and your analogy sucks. You, however, must be as hard as the g in gif, throwing snowflake AND retard into your parachute post... such a badass.
