I love how the "hard G" option in the poll is literally just the term "gif" again. :D

Actually, the word may be derived from the Greek word "mimma" meaning something that is being imitated - It should probably be pronounced "meem", as much as I prefer (and pronounce it) "mehm" myself. --- 404 logic not found ...

There's only one correct way to pronounce the word "meme," and that's "meem."
".gif," however, can be pronounced either "giff" or "jiff." It's an acronym for "Graphics Interchange Format," and not based on the old English word, so that pronunciation is irrelevant. On topic, I say "giff." --- Now Playing: Super Mario 64 // Smash 4 // LUIGI, LINK, Bowser, Falco, ROB ... Copied to Clipboard!

Never knew this was a thing.
I'm Dutch so GIF is pronounced with a very hard G. (also gif means poison in dutch). Geo and Gym are also pronounced with a hard G in Dutch. Because of the word "gift" and "Graphics" (Graphics Interchangeable File Format) the hard G is the only option that makes sense. ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's only one correct way to pronounce the word "meme," and that's "meem." that is precisely why I refuse to pronounce it any other way the first word in the acronym starts with a "g". i've always pronounced it that way but when I learned that, it just solidified my opinion on the matter. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"

I did used to pronounce it as "jif" when I first saw it used (just because the video I first heard that term used that term). Then I found out what it actually mean I switched "gif", I mean does anyone actually say Japhics.

I use a hard G. didn't know about the greek origins but I actually learned the rest of that in a video game. villain kept talking about spreading memes. and it was a interesting concept as the game series in the past had focused on the villains thinking genes where the important factor in making a person who they where, this villain thought it was memes. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
