It's not Data, the correct pronunciation is Data.

[–] digger@lemmy.ca 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The one on the left is pronounced GIF and the one on the right is pronounced GIF.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Actually, I'm pretty sure you have them flipped

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You're both wrong, the G is silent.

One is my name, the other is not.

Gif as in gift. Anything else is nonsense!

Ever seen a geriatric geologist named George at the gym? How about a giant ginger giraffe drunk on gin. What about a genderless genealogist cutting generic gems?

Graphics Interchange Format. Hard G.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 10 months ago

I use a hard G but this is a bad argument. I'll just link to this great list of counterexamples:

Always pronounce it "GIF."

Never "JIF."

Only Lore does that.

Data definitely says the hard g. His interests are in being more human. Not pedantically arguing about the way the creator says things in an attempt to upend the majority. The latter is definitely Lore's jam, though

Be more like Data.

Way to start another flame war Xusontha! Or is it Zusontha?

...It's secretly a Greek letter chi, isn't it?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It all depends if you pronounce it
Graphics interchange format
Or
Jraphics interchange format

Choosy websites choose gif.

(And if anyone gets that reference I'll be thrilled.)

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 10 months ago

It really hits every spot on the spectrum from minion to stripper dances lol

It's Gif the Giraffe!

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago

Lore: It's pronounced GIF... because of the implication.

[–] Downcount@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't care as long as you don't say Jetpack to JPG like my old collegue used to say.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 5 points 10 months ago

Whut

That's an actual crime

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

I pronounce it like gin but I don't really care how someone else pronounces it.
