this is like the dude who invented GIF thinking everyone was going to call it “jiff”. it ain’t happening, broski.
It’s obviously pronounced “jif” just like giraffe.
It is called jiff tho?
yes, the J comes from Jraphics
alright start saying jfeg
Well, it’s not the P that’s read like an F, it’s PH that’s read like an F. If it was jpheg it would be read jfeg.
Idk why you’re being downvoted, jfeg makes 0 sense
I didn’t downvote either of you, but here is why I disagree. The P is inseparable from the H in this situation. I would pronounce the P as half of a PH if I could, but “puh” is nothing like the first half of the sound “phuh”.
I’m just realizing that they must be gettinf the ph from the P in JPEG standing for Photographic. I’m guessing the argument is that gif is pronounced like gift (germanic root) vs giraffe (latin/italian) because graphics has a hard g. But if gif was a word there’s obviously some people who would pronounce it that was, if jpeg was a word, we probably wouldn’t say Jay-pehg but nobody would pronounce the p like a ph so there’s no need to resort to the component words of the acronym.
What? The creator of GIF has made it very clear it is not pronounced Jiff.
