So its “Jraphics Interchange Format”?

Moobythegoldensock, 10 months ago

No, Carl. Acronyms are not pronounced based on the origin words of the letters that make them up. That is a fake rule made up by people just so they could justify pronouncing “gif” wrong.

See also:

• scuba
• radar
• sonar
• NASA
• NATO

It should be a war crime.

Yeah, that’s what I said. Gif.

Graphics Interchange Format. Graphics. Not Jraphics.

That’s not how acronyms as words works. AIDS isn’t pronounced “Uh-ids” like the A in acquired.

Letters are pronounced differently in acronyms than in the original words all the time. Take POTUS, for example; the O and U are not the sounds in “of” or “United”.

You mean you guys haven’t been saying “puh-thyoos” all this time?

lolcatnip, 10 months ago

Everyone knows it’s pronounced “yiff”.

I switch up my pronunciation on a whim to cause maximum chaos.
