Even though the inventor of gifs came out and said it's Jiff?

The Nexerus said
Jiff is the objectively correct pronunciation. Ever had gin, Sole?

Listen here cunts.Most people pronounce it as gif (gift). Plus it's a lot less stupid to call it that. I don't have a fucking peanut butter brand releasing his powerful hado as my avatar. I have a gif.I don't give a fuck if the inventor of it said it like an idiot.At the very least, there shouldn't be anyone telling anyone else that they are pronouncing it wrong. Fuck off to the entire debate.

The Nexerus said
You're acting like there's no standard for that pronunciation. Multiple words are already pronounced with the 'j' sound despite being spelled with a 'g'. Should we overhaul the English vocabulary and alter all of our spellings to more accurately represent pronunciations? No, we shouldn't, because THAT we be idiotic—very much unlike pronouncing the file format .gif in the objectively correct fashion.

I know how those letters work, you tool. Either one can be correct. On the one hand, there's the fact that the inventor decided it to be one way. On the other, the other pronunciation has been adopted into the dialect by a huge amount of people. If people pronounce something a specific way or have a different meaning for a word, and it gets added into the dialect by massive usage, it becomes correct for that dialect.

The Nexerus said
What dialect adopted the incorrect mispronunciation of .gif? Internetese?

Awson said
Internet speak is indeed a dialect, you butt mongler.
