I read years ago that it was gif like gift which is how I pronounce it because gifs are a gift

But idgaf I process it both ways no matter how people say it

[la_geni]

You read wrong. The tech people who invented it said it's jif.

[kobewife1]

Also, on topic I still pronounce it as 'gif'

[ugotnothinonme]

i always used to say "g i f" all as separate letters in my head until the first time i saw people debating this years ago.

That reminds me of how I used to say 'me-me' in my head for the word 'meme,' lol

[ahkna]

i used to say it like 'mem'

[cherrynorth]

me too!

[glitterslugs]

i always read lmao like 'lah-mayo' and mte and 'mee-tee-ee'

[hubbabubbabb]

Fucking same. Idk why I do it for specific acronyms, but those ones I especially do the most.

[elderpricely]

same on lah-mayo

[swells]

I say "gif" with a hard g because "jif" is what I say when I'm like "be back in a jif!" and I like the hard g better.

But Idgaf how people say it.

That’s my reasoning for my pronunciation too.

Tangentially, I’ve just now come to the realization that I sound like an old white man when I speak irl.
