Robins and Blackbirds are very aggressive animals.

It's so true! Robins are serious gits with incredible PR.

Maybe old. But I think it's brilliant.

[Robo4900]

And you're right.

Also, I found this:

Her's a slightly higher quality but not quite as good version.

[AdmiralMemo]

I'm with Daffy on this one.

[Antitonic]

Isn't it supposed to be an acronym of Graphics Interchange Format, and therefore a hard "G"?

[Elomin Sha]

It's a hard G. Soft g would be Jif, which was a cleaning bleach in the UK before it was changed to Cif, and jif was a lemon juice used on Pancake Tuesday.

[AdmiralMemo]

Yep. That's why I said I agree with Daffy on "Gif"

But the creator said it was a soft G, so "Jif" and many people said "Well, if the guy who created it said it was that, it's got to be that."

Isn't it supposed to be an acronym of Graphics Interchange Format, and therefore a hard "G"?

That's a rule that was completely made up solely for the Gif argument. There are plenty of examples where the sound of a letter changed in the acronym in order to make a pronounceable word ("GATS" -> "General Agreement on Trade in Services").

However, it is very much a hard G in gif. It just is.

As for the original developer using a soft-g to imitate the "Choosy Moms choose Jiff" peanut butter slogan - to which I say "Fuck Jiff, fuck you CompuServe, and fuck your godawful format"

(I have issues with both the peanut butter and the image format.)

"Well, if the guy who created it said it was that, it's got to be that."

Greedo Shot First.

The creator of GIF also thought that he could take a proprietary compression format, slap some headers on it, and call it an "interchange format", so his opinions are already suspect.

"Graphic" being pronounced with a hard "G" is not a real argument though, because that's not how acronyms work.

Video games are so weird. Hey you just killed a giant goat man, have a pair of shoes you’re not intelligent enough to wear.

[Dominic Appleguard]

soft G, hard G, derp a derp a derrr

OH BOY THIS ARGUMENT I MISSED IT SO MUCH

[Tycherin]

Personally, I prefer to pronounce it with the soft "g" because I think "graphic" should be pronounced with a soft "g" as well so that it sounds like "girrafe-ic."

Basically, I like people saying ridiculous-sounding things.

[Lord Hosk]

I just like that you have to spell it differently to explain the "correct" way to say it.

As in "I pronounce Gif Gif, I dont care if some people say that Gif should be pronounced Jif"

The only time that you ever incorrectly spell incorrectly is when you fail to spell incorrectly correctly.

In order to say that someone is unreliable they have to repeatedly and consistently do things in a unreliable manner exhibiting that behavior at all turns, making them reliable.

[Phailhammer]

Guys, you're all wrong; it's obviously pronounced JERF!

In Guild Wars 2 as an Elementalist (master for the four elements; Earth, Fire, Water and Air), you're unable to equip a Flaming Stick (a torch).

[Amake]

Diablo 2 is my favorite, where you could stab a swarm of mosquitos until a chestpiece of solid plate armor falls out that you're not strong enough to wear but if you squeeze it inside a tiny metal cube you can carry it on your back along with four more without slowing down.

I was about to make that with GIMP, then I slapped my forehead and Googled it.

TRUE STORY

One morning, I was awakened by a knock at the door. I rolled out of bed, threw a blanket over my shoulder because it was cold, and made my way to the front of the house. I opened the door and a very nice lady of some sort of christian denomination handed me a pamphlet and launched in to a well-rehearsed spiel about accepting jesus in to my life when she stopped mid sentence and gave me a peculiar look. I used this pause in her speech to politely decline her offer and wish her a pleasant morning. It wasn’t until I looked at what she handed me that I understood why I stopped her in her tracks and then proceeded to laugh for the next half hour by myself.
