    Why do people have to pronounced it in any way? Why not say G-I-F? I’ve been saying it like that since before I knew about the huge debate💀

      Because that’s 3 syllables instead of 1. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=tUezwdHP3uA

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

          I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

      Cuz the devs explicitly named it after the peanut butter and even gave it a catchphrase to make sure you pronounced it correctly. It was a marketing campaign. “Choosy developers choose gif”.

        How do you pronounce JIF, then? (That’s the JPEG Interchange Format.)

          The same way? There’s thousands of words in the English language with the same pronunciation and different spellings. This isn’t the dunk you think it is.

          Besides, gif existed first. If JIF wanted to use the name without confusion maybe they should have come out first (missed it by half a decade) or come up with a catchy phrase.

          That’s JPEG File Interchange Format.

            Right there in the first paragraph, it says

            The base specifications for a JPEG container format are defined in Annex B of the JPEG standard, known as JPEG Interchange Format (JIF).
