You know

a lot of people

pick a certain pronunciation of a word

and just go with it

mindless of the fact that it could be incorrect.

Here are some of the most butchered pronunciations

that are common among almost everyone

even native speakers of English!

So let’s check’em out!

Oh and by the way

this is an American pronunciation lesson.

Okay, come on!

This word which is also spelled like this

is pronounced:

It’s NOT:

One kilometer on ascension.

or even worse what if I already found her

Supposably…

Supposably…

Guess what?

This is pronounced /dʒɪf/

Surprised?

Yeah, me too!

Most people say

because it stands for “Graphics Interchange Format”

it’s pronounced with a hard G.

That makes sense.

But the actual inventor of the GIF

says it’s pronounced “jif”.

Meanwhile Oxford English Dictionary

accepts both pronunciations.

What?

I just wanna show you this gif I saw the other day.

Do you mean “gif”?

No it’s G-I-F.

It’s pronounced “jif”.

It’s pronounced with a hard G.

I have no idea where you’re getting this “J” from.

The people who create it call it “jif”.

That’s how you’re supposed to say it.

Clearly they have no idea what they’re talking about!

They created it!

Which one do you think is correct?

”jif” or “gif”?
