Whatever causes the asker to have the biggest breakdown at the time!

"4G-LTE"? Well that's 'Forgull'ty'

Reminds me of "L‘mao" and "C‘tryl“

Hard G. It's “Graphics Interchange Format”, not “Jraphics Interchange Format”.

Try to pronounce the letter G. What does it sound like? Hard or soft G?

Now, while pronouncing "G", close your lips to make the sound "G-if".

There you have it, how to pronounce "Gif".

Ps: honestly, That just popped up in my head a moment ago and I'm just trying to troll, wholeheartedly I believe it is hard-G as in Graphics.

According to wikipedia the phonetic usage includes:
[g] [d͡ʒ] [ʒ] [ŋ] [j] [ɣ~ʝ] [x~χ] [d͡z] [ɟ] [k] [ɠ] [ɢ] /dʒiː/

For English pronunciation it lists:
/dʒ/ /ɡ/ /ʒ/ and silent

Does that mean you also pronounce scuba sku•ba instead of skoo•bah? Because that U stands for Underwater not OOnderwater. And what about Jpeg? Shouldn't it be Jeg because the P in photographic is silent.

[–] AnarchoYeasty@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Or jfeg because photography has an f sound.

It's soft g gif. Because the original joke was choosy moms choose jif, and choosy web developers choose gif.

It's "dot Ge I Ef"
