@redenchilada I'm down with this, but what if somepony else says they dislike jif and prefer ghif? What will I do?

@rarity Yeah but I'm waiting to see what the emotes are before I consider spending even more money than I already have on internet stuff
-
@pony Punch them in the face.

@redenchilada I don't care

@thelastgherkin If the guy who invented the format says it's jif then it's jif
-
@redenchilada excellent. Proof.
-
@redenchilada Who cares! Its not a crime to pronounce it differently. Like tomatoe tomato. its the same.

@redenchilada If Faust says there's only two alicorns, there's only two alicorns

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

@thelastgherkin An image format is not a children's cartoon

@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.
-
@midnightdancer Its sucke really
-
@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
-
@redenchilada The ancient Greeks said the sun orbited the Earth and they were first so they must have been right
-
@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.
-
@thelastgherkin The greeks did not invent the sun or the Earth

@redenchilada I still wonder, "ghiff" pronounced in italian? Like the spanish "Chif"?
-
@nerthos "Yiff" It's really an international language
-
@ceruleansquawk Yiff, worldwide language.
-
@redenchilada Also unacceptable: jaypeg, peenjee.
