The author calls it JIF. He intended it as Jif because he has butter fingers and like butter brand JIF.
I’m used to hard G though.
And British people made English, but they don’t say anything right either.
I know he says it’s pronounced “jif”, but I just don’t care. It’s like “gift” without the t
Let’s be honest here, English does not have that level of consistency. “Women” is pronounced with an “i” for christ sake
Not this again…lol it’s gif god damn it!
Wilhite says jif, I use jif. He created it, he gets to name it.
He didn’t tell anyone it was pronounced jif till a great many years later, after most people were pronouncing it gif.
He lost the right to dictate how everyone else pronounces it for that reason alone. So fuck him. =)
Edit: It was made in 1987 and he waited till 2013. Lmao, he lost that fight long ago.
I understand that some people feel very strongly about pronunciations. So be angry about the correct pronunciation, heck, don’t use the correct pronunciation, who cares?
But Wilhite made it, so he gets to name it, regardless of the popularity of later pronunciation debates that largely take place in a forum where you can’t actually pronounce the word because we’re all typing. It’s pretty funny.
We were literally told it was pronounced “jif” by the creator. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings
Whoever invented all the words in that sentence certainly didn’t pronounce them like you do.
I mean, id pronounce them the way the creators said if they were here and specifically told me how to pronounce it 💁🏻
ok chaucer, lol. you’d sound weird to everyone else
