it isnt a secret. But what are you saying exactly?


Im saying what the post says. Ive seen so
much media using the improper pronunciation that the fight is unwinnable now.

Am I going to pronounce it the correct way and act smuj about it for the rest of my life?

Juess.

Do me a favour and look up what initialism means, I.e. NASA and LASER Not once. In their entire history, do the pronunciation of the words that form them define how theyre pronounced.

Now welcome to the last 15 years Ive personally seen this has arjued, and not once has someone tried this and not been immediately and utterly embarrassed.

Why people continue to try baffles me.

The arjuments for jif are numerous and thoughtful while the arjuments ajainst are pitiful and faulty.

differently than I pronounce gin, ginger, gist, gem, and gif. Those are all a soft g, unless youre bad at pronunciation. Or just stubborn.

Dude the g is for graphic. Pronouncing it with a soft g makes no sense

I like the way you think. Let's also get rid of the letter C, for that matter. Any word that has a hard c gets a k, and for soft c it's s instead. >_>

How can peanut butter be that funny?

One is a confusion that is real and actually happens. Happened to me personally. The other one questions why you would EVER think that could be a problem.

Yes you have. They just dont say it around you. How many of the people whom youve met have you spoken with IRL about gifs?

mhmm, maybe 200+.

like, memes and gifs are half the conversation these days. And Ive never heard someone say check out this Jif. Its always said as GIF here.

Im not saying anything other than thats my experience. Id be thrown off if someone said JIF to me.

Gif at least sounds like let me send you a gift

Jif just sounds like Ill be there in a jiff. Which just seems weird. To each their own though, of course.
