Topic	How do you pronounce gif?
Energy Surge 02/01/18 12:11:23 PM #24:	A soft g, similar to the way gymnasium or giraffe is pronounced. Also, the acronym was created to be a play on the peanut butter. So I believe it should be pronounced like the peanut butter. To those of you defending your pronunciation because in the acronym the G stands for graphics, a word with a hard g, how do you pronounce CERN? The C stands for Conseil, so I imagine to be logically consistent you would say KERN? In any case, I don't care about your logical consistency. Pronounce it however you like as long as a sizeable portion of the population pronounces it that way. --- The only reason lightning never strikes in the same place twice, is that the same place isn't there the second time. <cite>Energy Surge posted [p:895246286] in How do you...
