Buncha losers arguing over the pronunciation when it's really the spelling that's wrong: it's .gith in the original Japanese, .gif is a translation error.

I already had that user tagged as 'really whiny over hard G gif.' This topic solidifies this as being their entire identity.

You misunderstood that huh? I mean you continue to try and frame me as mad says a lot by itself but allow me to explain it again for the second time.

Im calling people special for repeating one of the worst arguments Ive ever seen and is literally defeated by basic logic, immediately, in every single one of these discussionswhy we gotta explain how acronyms work every single time this is brought up is just baffling. The argument gets repeated and passed on, but logic against it seems to be completely unlearnable to some of yall.

Even If I was one of these hard G people Id be saying the same exact shit to my fellow homies in the Gif trenches. Pronounce it any way that makes sense to you, say the creator is an idiot and you dont give a shit what he thinks. Literally means nothing to mebut Ill die on this hill that the graphics pronunciation is one of the dumbest arguments Ive ever seen.

And Ill let the fact that I dont get banned or need alts to be alll the evidence I need about who takes this board more seriously.

Since I continue to use this place to share and challenge all my silly little opinions, you might come to realize I really couldnt care less what your idea of me is. I get a little satisfaction out of challenging some of my opinions here. Your weirdly obsessive, antagonist nature may be one of the less appealing things about this board, but youre honestly a dime a dozen here. Its very easy to not take it personally. You just dont take a cesspool that seriously. Its basic common sense.

I take my opinions seriously, theyre what I believe. But Im so far removed from taking this board seriously, especially users like yourself. Its actually extremely easy to wade through posts like this and continue to use it as a dumping ground of thoughts that I really dont have a better venue and the occasional debate which entertains me in a small way. And its extremely easy to find a debate here. Yall will argue anything. Dont let me be the lightning rod for that deep rooted issue with this board lol.

It used to be the case that "ain't ain't a word" and now it is because people wanted it to be. So, despite what the creator of the .gif format wants it isn't the giraffe exchange but the gift exchange. Jif is best left for peanut butter. :P

I made a topic here a while back saying the fight was over when hard G found its way into popular media. Seen so many news outlets, movies, tv shows pronounce it that way. Indoctrinating the masses to be wrong I suppose. But theres no way back now.

But yall sound ridiculous to me. Jif literally sounds so much better imho. Also its too close to the word gift if pronounced with a hard G. And if you dont believe me, just continue to use it IRL. Someone will think youve sent them a gift and not an animated image. Ive already seent it myself.

One of the best things about language is that it evolves. So regardless of how a word is pronounced by some innovator it probably wont stay that way.

Particularly if the only reason not to is because I said so.
