The same reason he continues to say, "underSHtand" instead of understand. Is this some kind of a broadcaster trick or technique to become more "Ron Radio" or something? Either way it is becoming progressively annoying.

Spiegs insists it is his way or the highway on this matter.

Anyone who pronounces it JIF should be murdered. These are the same idiots who think meme has more than one syllable.

I can even let .gif slide. But the catsup thing just about caused me to drive off the road.

JIF'fers are the hipsters of pronunciation. "Hurrr durr, that's what the creator said it should sound like." They know the widely accepted, common--and thus proper--usage is, they just want to be observed being different.

Seeing as the hard G sound in Graphics, I don't even get the JIF camp

This.

It's GIF. I don't care what the dude who invented them says. JIF makes no fucking sense.

Are you really saying the guy that invented it doesn't get to name it? Hurr durr.

Sure, he can name it. And the public can decide to rename it if his choice doesn't make any sense, which is what happened here

This, and the guy only started banging the JIF drum years after the public had made GIF the standard pronunciation.

I see it written but rarely heard the word spoken anyway...like the Hebrew G-d...oh, hey, look that kind of looks like the initials of a great and misunderstood poster on this site...makes you think...oops, of course it doesn't make you think. You are posters at CFMB.

Are you trying to say Hockey Gay is a Hebrew God? I don't necessarily disagree, just looking for clarification.

At least his vocal fry has improved. Thankfully someone pulled him aside and worked with him on it

i remember being at a BBS conference at a steak & ale in springfield mo 2 decades ago and there was this argument two people were having over .GIF and SysOp pronunciations.

to WWN's linked video, the one guy was like "it's not a jraphic image!" (this guy pronounced .GIF with the hard 'G', but pronounced SysOp seis-op), and the other guy said "well it's not SEIStem operator!".

who knew almost 25 years later, a new generation of clowns would carry this argument on.
