I seen a guraffe at the zoo!
I mean it's funny but of course you are objectively wrong.
I hate you feel that way. Can I get you a jift to make you feel better?
It will be a guygantic jift. A large external drive that can hold MANY jiggabytes. Just be careful, it will take a lot of power. 1.21 jiggawatts at least.
But the g in gif stands for "graphical," not "giraffe!" You silly goose
yeah man, just like you go scuba diving oo-nderwater.
it's a dead end. We can't pretend that "g" can't also be pronounced as "j", or that the words making up the acronym matter. It's all preference and since GIF's dad called it "jif", I'm gonna call it "jif". At least that's based on something beyond my own hubris.
Saying it with a hard G because ‘graphical’ has a hard G is a reason based on something beyond hubris.
That's easily the worst reasoning for the hard-g considering how we don't pronounce the letters of most acronyms based on the phrases they come from.
Tell that to Qantas, the abomination of all acronyms. WHERE IS THE U????? AAAAAAAAA
Just like jpeg is pronounced "jfeg"
And it had a gift.
Was it a gyro?
If it were gyf or gir, then it could have been gyro or giraffe. But no, it was a gift of gif.
