Zia's statement had me laughing, especially since she's top of her class when it comes to trolling for IOS games.

Can you inverted controls, "jif" saying people please go back to the strange planet from which you came.

I didn't even know that people said "Jif".

It's just been a 'holy shit' realization that some people naturally gravitated towards the incorrect pronunciation.

It's GAF, not JAF(acakes). It's GIF, not JIF.

You know that recently the creator of GIFs revealed that it's being spelled JIF, right?

If not, then this post is gold :lol

How it's spelled, in this case, doesn't change how it's pronounced.

:D. If my post is gold, I'll take yours down with me.

Some people say soda.
Some people say pop.
Some people say soft drink.
Some people say coke.
I say "GIF".

Yeah this. It's not even a debate.

When the creator says it's "(j)if" calling it "(g)if" is just ignoring what it actually is. Just because you say something is true, doesn't make it so.

Sorry soft g folks.

that's not how language works, bro

besides who gives a crap about a stupid pun based on a peanut butter ad from literally twenty years ago, from a brand that doesn't even have a "g" in it?

Since I clearly am out of my depth with language rules, can someone explain to me why the above is wrong. Why you can't have a soft g followed by an i. Why it has to be a hard G? With giant, the g sounds like a (j) - so jiant. Not (guh)iant. So why can't gif be said as "jif".

Yeah this. It's not even a debate.

When the creator says it's pronounced "(j)if" calling it "(G)if" is just ignoring what it actually is. Just because you say something is true, doesn't make it so.

The creator doesn't know language rules then.
