                Saturday, 08-Jun-13 05:22:39 UTC from web
                1. @redenchilada Who cares! Its not a crime to pronounce it differently. Like tomatoe tomato. its the same.

                  1. @midnightdancer I know but I like being overbearing on the subject because everyone gets angry when I pronounce it jiff

                    Saturday, 08-Jun-13 05:27:58 UTC from web
                    1. @redenchilada :P Ya well I don't care what you pronounce it and you should not care if others care. There will always be people who disagree with you. Its called life.

                    2. @redenchilada I usually pronounce it G, I, F but I would use jiff a's a pronunciation if I didnt call every format by indidual characters except for rar and zip

                1. @redenchilada I like this. I've been using both pronunciations. It will take a bit of effort to get into the habit but finally the debate is over for me.

                  Saturday, 08-Jun-13 05:35:42 UTC from MuSTArDroid
    5. @redenchilada I'm down with this, but what if somepony else says they dislike jif and prefer ghif? What will I do?

      Saturday, 08-Jun-13 05:13:28 UTC from MuSTArDroid
      1. @pony Punch them in the face.

        Saturday, 08-Jun-13 05:13:55 UTC from web

    8. @redenchilada I still wonder, "ghiff" pronounced in italian? Like the spanish "Chif"?

      Monday, 29-Jul-13 16:30:40 UTC from web
      1. @nerthos "Yiff" It's really an international language

        Monday, 29-Jul-13 16:32:26 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
        1. @ceruleansquawk Yiff, worldwide language.

          Monday, 29-Jul-13 16:36:41 UTC from web
    9. @redenchilada Also unacceptable: jaypeg, peenjee.

      Monday, 29-Jul-13 16:49:19 UTC from MuSTArDroid
      1. @scribus The correct pronunciations of course are 'jip-guh' and 'pung'.

        Monday, 29-Jul-13 16:54:29 UTC from web
        1. @rotation i call it "jota pégui"

          Monday, 29-Jul-13 16:55:06 UTC from web
          1. @mushi @rotation "Jota (j as h in home, o like in jhon, ta like to in stop) pe (as in pe in peroxide) ge (the g pronounced like home's h, e as in well)"

            Monday, 29-Jul-13 17:02:07 UTC from web
            1. @nerthos jota... I would say that as "yota"

              Monday, 29-Jul-13 17:08:51 UTC from web
              1. @techdisk It depends on what language you're pronouncing it in. If you do it in Brazilian, like @mushi, it'll sound fairly diferent from Spanish.

                Monday, 29-Jul-13 17:15:09 UTC from web
        2. @rotation I knew a guy who called HTML files "Hotmail" files, and MIDI files "Em Eye Dee Eye" files.

          Monday, 29-Jul-13 17:01:31 UTC from MuSTArDroid
          1. @scribus ...I used to pronounce it "my die". :c

            Monday, 29-Jul-13 17:03:04 UTC from web
            1. @redenchilada Eh, still not spelling it out.

              Monday, 29-Jul-13 17:04:26 UTC from MuSTArDroid
          2. @scribus MIDI is acceptable.

            Monday, 29-Jul-13 17:07:05 UTC from web
            1. @rotation I always said mih-dee. My friend kept calling them mighty files. :/
