Today's featured article on Wikipedia is about the never-ending debate surrounding the pronunciation of GIF. Apologies to Steve Wilhite, but I don't think I'll ever stop pronouncing it "gif", with the hard-g. And look, the internet has made GIFs about it, because of course! Or, well, this is a Star Trek board, so... Yes, I picked ones for my preferred pronunciation, but I'm not trying to sway you if you prefer the other way. There are plenty of GIFs out there for the "jif" pronunciation too.
This brings up something I've been wondering about. When they do a prequel with a different actor from the original, at what point do they go from being the prequel actor to being the original actor? So with the Middle Earth movies, when would Bilbo go from being Martin Freeman to being Ian Holm, or with Sheldon Cooper, when does he go from being Ian Armitage to being Jim Parsons? The younger kids in Young Sheldon are getting into the teens, so if we think about realistically they should be reaching a point where they're looking more like the adult actors. I'll confess, I say if Jif.
GIF is an acronym for "Graphics Interchange Format." "Graphics" is pronounced with a hard G. Therefore "GIF" is pronounced with a hard G. Case closed.
just like (to) give (we pronounce it quite like that) i only do that to open a new front as to how to properly slaughter that innocent vowel
By that argument, scuba divers should be pronouncing scuba so it rhymes with Bubba, because the U is for underwater. lol
if you wouldn't spell out single letters with pdf you'd break your tongue - no necessasity to do that with a *.give or a *.doc (you spell them out, too?) i really need your advice on the mim 23 then
I advocate for a free-for-all. Say acronyms however you like imho. We should be thinking of them less as words anyhow, & remembering they're an initialism Besides, I didn't even know that one until now
