I used to be adament about gif with a hard G until I had a coworker insist that sudo was pronounced soodoo rather than pseudo. like yeah, I know it stands for sUpEr uSeR dO but you can never get me to not say it the other way.

In my head I thought of it like a psuedo su and thought sudo was clever, then learning it is like soodoo and I'm highly disappointed. I still say it like psuedo in my head. I use arch btw.

I've been using Linux for like 18 years and I will never say soodoo. I will die on this hill.

it's not like gif stands for jraphics interchange format.

neither does it stand for giraffe interchange format.

nor does it stand for geranium interchnage format.

but if you're sharing gifs of giraffes or giraniums, i suppose that's allowable.

The p in jpeg stands for photographic, but you don't pronounce it a "jay-feg".
